Onboarding Field Flowback
Overview
Onboarding Field Flowback allows you to collect data from your employees via electronic forms and send that data back to the associated Bullhorn ATS record when the document is approved.
Field Flowback is supported for the candidate and placement entities in the ATS as well as any overview custom objects configured for these entities.
Before You Begin
- In order to use Field Flowback, you must have Onboarding V2 with a Bullhorn ATS integration.
- All onboarding fields are eligible for flowback except for the following:
- Signature
- Signature Text
- Hyperlink
- The following Bullhorn ATS fields are supported:
- All fields on the candidate entity except for those with an edit type of System or Entity Picker.
- All fields on the placement entity except for those with an edit type of System or Entity Picker.
- In order for document data to flow back to placement records, the document must be assigned to the placement.
In order to use Field Flowback, each onboarding admin will have to have the necessary permission enabled on their Admin record to gain access to the flowback tab and flowback rule configuration options.
