Steps: Maintain Custom Candidate Pool Grids

Steps: Maintain Custom Candidate Pool Grids

Security
  • Grid Management
     domain in the System functional area.
  • Set Up: Recruiting
     domain in the Recruiting functional area.
Create a configurable grid to manage and view candidate pools. You can define 1 grid configuration for all candidate pools using fields from the External or Internal Candidate business object. We recommend reviewing the grid configuration for the
View Candidate Pool
 task in the
Tenant Analyzer
 report after selecting fields to improve performance.
  1. Access the
    Maintain Candidate List Assignment
     task.
  2. Select a grid type:
    Option Description
    Candidate Pool Grid
    Select a grid that you would like to apply or to create a new grid select
    Create
     >
    Create Grid Configuration
    .
    What type of grid do you want to create?
    To create a new grid, select
    By Category
     >
    Recruiting
     >
    Candidate Pool
    .
    Copy Details from Existing Configurable Grid
    To use an existing grid as a template, select
    Custom Grid Configuration by Category
     >
    Recruiting
     >
    Default Candidate Pool Grid
    .
  3. Add or remove columns to display on the grid. Consider:
    Option Description
    Sorting
    Define a field to sort order of the grid.
    Composite Column
    Select the
    Include Composite Column
     check box to select up to 3 report fields and 1 image to display in the same column.
    Individual Columns
    By default, the
    Candidate
     field is available on the grid. Add up to 15 static columns displayed on the left side of the grid.
    Grouped Columns
    Add up to 15 columns in the
    Overview
     section on the right side of the grid.
    Workday recommends that you configure Read Only and Editable column types under the Individual Columns and Grouped Columns sections.
    Option Description
    Read Only
    Add
    Read Only
     columns to include report fields with candidate information from the
    External or Internal Candidate
     business object.
    Editable
    To update the status of the candidate, include the
    Readiness Status
     field.
  4. Change existing Candidate Pool Grids through the
    Edit Grid Configuration
     task or by using the
    View Grid Configuration
     task and clicking
    Configure
    .
On the
View Candidate Pool
 task:
  • Only active candidate pools are available.
  • Add fields on the
    View Candidate Pool
     prefilter page if your dynamic candidate pools exceed 50,000 candidates.
  • You can create and save filters for future use.
  • You can take action on 1 or more candidates.
