Conditional additional info fields
WHAT'S INCLUDED
Fields on a candidate's Additional Info card can now depend on one another. A controlling dropdown decides what appears beneath it:
Show or hide: a dependent field appears only when the controlling dropdown is set to a value that applies it and it works with dependent fields of any type.
Filter options: a dependent dropdown offers only the options that are valid for the controlling value.
Updates happen as the recruiter works: change the controlling value and the options below re-filter, fields that no longer apply disappear, and a selection that's no longer valid clears. Show and hide works for a dependent field of any type; option filtering and the Outdated tag (shown when a saved value is no longer among the controlling field's valid options) apply to dropdowns only.
WHY IT MATTERS
Show recruiters only the fields that apply to a candidate, instead of every field your organization has ever defined.
Replace several near-duplicate dropdowns with a single dropdown that shows only the options valid for the value chosen in the field above it.
FEATURE DETAILS
Who can access | Recruiters, Customer Admins |
Feature type | Default Off (Self-service) |
Requirements | The controlling field, and any dependent field whose options you want filtered, must already exist as dropdown fields on the Additional Info card. Conditional show and hide works for a dependent field of any type. |
GETTING STARTED
Admins: The controlling field and any dependent fields must already exist as dropdown fields on that card before you can set up a dependency. To configure this feature, read Configure conditional fields for candidate profiles.
End users: When a recruiter changes the controlling field, dependent fields update immediately: options re-filter, fields that no longer apply disappear, and a value that is no longer valid clears. A saved value that falls outside the current options is tagged Outdated on the Additional Info card. Your card heading is configurable and may read differently.
Example: a 'Country' dropdown controls a 'State/Region' dropdown. When a recruiter selects 'India', the region field shows only Indian states; switch the country to 'Germany' and the region list re-filters to German regions, and any state that no longer applies clears. If a previously saved region is no longer valid for the selected country, it's tagged Outdated.
