Required fields

A required field has a red line on the right of an entry box or selection list.

The top of the Create Job Posting form with Job Administration and Job Information fields

If you do not complete required fields, a message appears at the top right of a page:

A red error message saying the form could not be submitted and to review the fields in red

Hover your mouse over the red alert icon to get field details:

The Job Administration section with a red warning icon and tooltip beside the empty Assigned Recruiter field

Type-ahead fields

Some fields in Rival Recruit have this icon: . This indicates a field is a type-ahead field. As you type, the system predicts what you are typing and completes it based on values already in the system.

The Job Information section with an arrow pointing to the type-ahead icon in the Job Template field

In type-ahead fields, you can also type %%% to open a drop-down list and make a selection:

Sorting columns

Columns that have up and down arrows can be sorted:

A results list of 48 records with Candidate, Job Title, Current Stage and Enter Date columns

If a column has only an up or down arrow, that means data is currently sorted by that column:

Text editor

A text editor is available on various pages throughout the system—like for email content, job descriptions, required skills, and so on. Rival Recruit's text editor works like other text editors. You can enter text, change fonts and font size, format text, change text alignment, add images, and more. There are some quirks: Use the insert text option to insert text from a Word document. It removes any extra formatting that might cause formatting problems or cause text to display incorrectly.To use the Insert Image feature, type in the image URL. For example, to include an image from your company’s website, view the image properties and include the URL in the Image URL field instead of uploading an image to Rival Recruit. After you have entered the URL (or address), the image is displayed in the Preview window.
