Explanation of term

Field schema configuration refers to the modification of field properties. Through field schema configuration, you can define whether fields should be mandatory, optional, or hidden.


Configuration

Areas where you can modify the field schema configuration are marked on the right side with the wrench icon . The icon is only displayed for new elements, such as when creating a new job opening or a new publication.


System behavior

  • Global settings
    The field schema configuration is a global setting. Changes to the configuration apply to all users.
  • Areas with field schema configuration
  • Other forms
    Another form where the field schema can be modified is the application questionnaire. You can find the settings in the Form tab under the Application questionnaire section.
  • Field settings
    In some forms, you can determine how fields are displayed:
    • Mandatory field: The field must be filled out.
    • Optional: The field can be filled out.
    • Hidden: The field is not displayed in the form.
  • Editing existing elements
    When editing existing elements, the option to configure the field schema is not displayed. This option is only available when creating new elements. The new element does not need to be saved for this.
  • Note when creating new elements
    Changes to the field schema configuration during the creation of a new job opening, publication, or hiring request should be made before entering text into the form fields. Otherwise, the fields will be cleared when you save the field schema configuration.


How our customers use this

Field schema configuration is often used during the setup of your d.vinci system to ensure that all users only see the fields that need to be filled out. Sometimes, changes are made later. These changes often require internal communication to inform colleagues about how to use the new field or why a field is no longer available.
