Question
Am I able to edit the job application after it has been created? If so, how do I do it?
Answer
*You can add questions from the list of existing questions or create a new question. You can also make the resume a requirement.
*You cannot change the default application questions. Fields marked with an asterisk cannot be removed or changed.
Update the job status if necessary
- Before you edit a job application, change the status of the position to “Active, not listed,” if necessary. See the Knowledge Article “Hiring Managers: Change the Listing Status of a Job” for more information.
2. Under Manage Applications, click “Edit or View the Online Application".
NOTE: If you try to edit the application while its status is “active, listed,” you will receive the following message:
3. Click "Click Here".
To access the application editor:
1. Log in to JobX.
2. Click on the Job Title.
3. Click Edit or view the online application.
4. Click the Click Here link
To add an existing question:
1. Click Pick From Existing Questions
2. Click the drop-down arrow next to the question name you want to add.
3. Review the question in the “Preview” box.
4. Under Application Behavior, decide where you wish the question to appear on the application. “Select an existing section” asks in which section of the application you would like the added question to appear. If you want the added question to appear in a new section, enter that information in “Create a New Section.”
5. Decide if the question is required. “Application input is required” means the student must answer the question. If you check “Pre fill this question from a previous answer,” the answer will automatically be entered if the student has answered the same question on another application.
6. Finally, indicate where in the sequence of questions you would like the new question to appear. Then click “Add Question.”
7. The new question will be added to the application. When you are satisfied with the application, click Save Application to finish.
To Create A New Question:
1. Click Create a New Question.
2. Select a Question Type from the drop-down menu.
3. Enter the Question Name. *This is how you will find the question in the question bank, should you want to use it in the future. The students will not see this.
4. Type your question in the Question Label text box. *This is what the students will see on the application.
5. Under Application Behavior, decide where you wish the question to appear on the application. “Select an existing section” asks in which section of the application you would like the added question to appear. If you want the added question to appear in a new section, enter that information in “Create a New Section.”
6. Decide if the question is required. “Application input is required” means the student must answer the question. If you check “Prefill this question from a previous answer,” the answer will automatically be entered if the student has answered the same question on another application.
7. Finally, indicate where in the sequence of questions you would like the new question to appear. Then click “Add Question.”
8. When you are done making changes to the application, click Save Application.
To make the resume a requirement on the application:
1. Scroll down to the Resume line on the application, then click the pencil icon on the right.
2. Check the box next to This question must be answered.
3. The page will refresh. You will see a red asterisk next to resume. It is now required. Click Save Application.
