Explanation of terms
Locations have very different functions in the system. Depending on whether they are operation locations, desired operation locations or appointment locations.
Configuration
Locations are maintained in the master data. When you create a location, you decide whether it is a Job Location, a Desired Job Location and/or an Appointment Location.
Any number of locations can be created in the master data.
The value behind the field is only Name used for the internal display within your d.vinci. You can define the external display via the field External Name. By this dichotomy several branches/locations in one city can be distinguished unambiguously. If you do not maintain an External Name, the value from the Name field will be used for the external display.
Job boards and the like receive this value for the display as soon as an external name is maintained. Without an external name, the value from the Name field is used.
You will find the following locations in your d.vinci when the system is delivered:
- Hamburg
Job Location
Places of operation are the locations that you can select as location in the call for bids. They are therefore the locations where the activity is performed for which you are looking for new personnel.
Behavior in the system
- The assignment location can be selected in the Hiring Request and in the Job Opening. It is possible to select several values.
- The field schema configuration allows you to show or hide the Job Location field, as well as define it as a mandatory field.
- The job location can be used as a placeholder (Job Opening - Job Location) in job advertisement templates and correspondence templates.
- Filtering by job location is possible in the application search as well as in the application overview and job opening overview.
- An evaluation can take place, for example, via the Excel raw data report with the data number of advertisements.
- Data on Locations can be evaluated via the oData Reporting API.
Desired Job Location
In the application form, the field Desired Job Location can be displayed. This is especially useful for the applicant in case of Unsolicited Job Openings or Job Openings with several locations.

- You can use the placeholder New Appointment - Address (complete) or Old Appointment - Address (complete) to insert the address information.
- This allows you to invite the applicant to an interview at a specific address without having to type this information.
- An evaluation is possible via the Excel raw data report with the data Number of appointments.

Places of operation
Places of operation are the places where the activity is carried out. The address data is important for Google for Jobs, for example, so street, postal code and city are also maintained here. Job locations are often also appointment locations.
Desired job locations
Maintained only by customers who have posted speculative postings and want to give applicants a way to indicate their local preference.
Appointment Location
Appointment locations are created in order to be able to select locations when making appointments and to provide an applicant with different or more precise address information. Often appointment locations are also assignment locations.
Name and External Name
Since the name is not visible to the outside, internal designations for a location, combinations with address data or similar are entered here. In the field for the external name, the designation is selected as applicants should read it in correspondence or in the job posting.
