Choosing the data fields shown in the Portal

The data fields used on the pages of the Portal are configurable. As installed the Portal uses a default list of fields. To change the fields used by the Portal, edit the Field Sets in the custom objects driving the Portal.

Each Field Set contains a list of fields from a custom object. Sage People Recruit uses these to generate the Portal pages. You can add any eligible field from the objects to the Field Set, including your own custom fields. Use formula fields to show calculated or variable information tailored to the Candidate.

The following Field Sets are relevant for a Candidate Portal:

    The order of selected fields in the Field Set panel is the order used on the page. If a field in a Field Set is set to required, information must be entered in that field when saving the page.

  5. To add fields to the Field Set, drag and drop available fields onto the Field Set, ensuring the order of fields is as you want it displayed on the page.

    To remove fields from the Field Set, drag and drop them from the Field Set onto the list of available fields.

Field security settings for the Sites user must also be enabled for fields to be used. If a field in the Field Set is not displaying on the page check the field security settings.
