Overview

Profile lists are found on several types of profiles within iCIMS' Applicant Tracking (formerly Recruit). They are standard lists for information like EEO categories and schools, which users can select from when creating a profile (in the system or on an iCIMS' Applicant Tracking career site).

Note: The steps below show the process of updating lists, such as the Degrees, Majors, Schools, and Position Level lists, from the Admin > System Configuration > System > Lists page. However, the lists for many dropdown fields across the system, such as the Source (rcf3048) field located on the Cand. Details Tab of the Person Profile, may also be located elsewhere within System Configuration. Locate the field that you would like to edit the list options for (as described in the Adding and Editing Fields article), and then follow steps 3-7, below 

Configuring Profile Lists

1. From the menu bar, select Admin, then select System Configuration.
2. Select System from the left navigation menu, and then select Lists from the list of options to the right. 
3. Select Edit beside one of the lists to launch a popup window, on which you can modify the list.
4. Ensure that the heading is highlighted (e.g., Education: Degrees) and click the Create New List Item icon.

• Tip: New list items can only be added for the Global Group. After adding items, they can be configured per user group by selecting the necessary group from the User Group dropdown.

5. Enter the new item name in the Label field.
6. Click the No Selection link in the Alias field to add a new alias to this item, if necessary. Then, on the Attribute: Alias of popup, choose the appropriate alias and click Select.
   • Tip: Aliases for profile list entries link similar options together. For example, “B.S.” might be an alias of the Bachelor of Science degree.

7. Click the Save button to save all changes to the new entry. 

Tips:

• Click and drag list items to rearrange them manually.
• To sort the list items alphabetically, click the heading and then click the sort icon. Click Save button to save the changes. 

• To hide a list item from a particular user group, follow the steps below:
  1. Select that group from the User Group dropdown.
  2. Select the list item to be hidden.
  3. Check the checkbox beside Hidden.
  4. Click Save to preserve your changes.
