Tabular View Features

To access Tabular View click the ActionClosed When used in ATS or Search and Match UI, one of multiple actions available after user has selected a sub-set of Candidates button at the top right of the JobClosed A job (vacancy, position, role) is an opening for which a customer's client needs a placement. Bullhorn ATS.

Using a tabular view to display candidate data means that you can look at candidate information that is more relevant to you without having to open their records. The columns of the table are customizable with fields from the Contact and Application V2Closed A BH4SF custom object introduced when new data model ATSv2 was added to the core product objects and columns are sortable across all pages.

Admin Note:

Tabular View can be set as the default Bullhorn ATS view and the columns of the table are customizable with fields from the Contact and ApplicationClosed First stage of Job placement flow (Application> Submittal>Interview>Offer> Placement) V2 objects. See ATS v2: High Volume Recruiting Configuration for full customization details.

For the best user experience it is recommended that the High Volume tabular view is opened in a new tab which maximizes screen availability and makes navigation easier. Use the Expand Bullhorn ATS View button in the top right to open in a new tab.

Tabular View Layout

The function of tabular view is to allow recruiters to work on large volumes of candidates, so pagination has been added to this view and the process of selecting records and navigating through multiple pages is streamlined.

  1. Each page shows the current page number and allows you to go to the next page or skip to a particular page.
  2. Users have several options for selecting records:
    • Single Record: Use the checkbox next to the individual item.
    • All Records on a Page: Use the first checkbox in the header on the left hand side.
    • All Records on a Job: Use the hyperlink on the top left that says Select all [total number of records] records for this job.

    Selections are persistent across pages, meaning that navigating to a new page after selecting a few candidate records will not result in losing that selection.

  3. The default number of records per page is 500, but you can choose to display fewer records.

Using Filters

Candidate records can be filtered using the Filter drop-down at the top left (1) and you can also create your own filters (2).

When you click Create new filter, a window opens where you can enter the name of your filter and the filtering criteria you want to apply.

  1. Enter the name of your filter.
  2. Specify the filter criteria.
    • Select a field from the Contact or Application V2 objects, an operator and a value for that field.
    • You can add several conditions to the criteria by using the +Add Condition button.
  3. Specify who will be able to see the filter.

After creating a filter, the ability to Edit and Delete the filter will appear next to the Create new filter link.
