User-Defined Codes Table

Use this table to create and maintain codes that can be entered in Applicant Tracking's user-defined pages. User-defined pages, which are set up in your Human Resources Profile, supplement the standard pages provided in Applicant Tracking.

  • You can access user-defined pages in the Applicant Tracker wizard process while adding new applicant records.

  • You also can display user-defined pages by clicking Defined Windows on the Applicant Information detail page's Action Bar.

The User Defined Codes option enables you to create codes that can be entered in user-defined pages to reference specific information, such as position categories or relevant job skills. To reduce the possibility of errors and make it easier for users to enter the information requested, you can use the option to set up a table that includes the appropriate selections.

From the Human Resources menu, select Reference Tables. From the Applicant Tracking menu, select User Defined Codes.
