This setting determines the list of values for the Submission Status drop-down on the Edit Submission screen when scheduling an interview. Having a separate set of interview-specific statuses enforces the fact that the user must actually schedule an interview as an appointment in order for that interview to properly track against the record and therefore shade the Interview workflow icon. Otherwise, as they can do in other cases of updating a submission status, a user might simply update the candidate's submission status to reflect the fact that an interview is scheduled which won’t actually log the interview against the record.

Notes added with an Action longer than 30 characters will not save, and you receive an error message.

This setting determines whether the file attachments distribution type on candidate, contact, and job records defaults to Internal or General. Internal Distribution is used to indicate that a document is only intended for internal users and is not to be sent to clients. Documents with a type of Internal Distribution cannot be sent to clients during a client submission. General distribution is used to mark documents that can be shared with clients.

This setting determines the symbol that appears to the right of money fields that display on all records in the application.

• You may want to omit the currency symbol if you frequently staff for jobs in various countries that use different currencies. In this case, you can use a custom field to create a drop-down that will allow users to choose the currency symbol for each money field every time they add or edit a new record.
