Overview

This article outlines how to use Field Mappings. As an administrator, you use Field Mappings to control the location and behavior of fields that display on the Add & Edit pages of your records.

 

Caution should be used when modifying any named fields. Use custom fields rather than repurposing existing fields.

Field Mappings Details

In Field Maps, click on the field name to find the number of characters allowed in the field. It is listed underText Field Limit.

You access Field Mappings from the Bullhorn menu, under Admin.

  • S-Release: From your Bullhorn Menu, select Tools > Field Mappings.

As an administrator, you use Field Mappings to control the location and behavior of fields that display on the Add & Edit pages of your records, such as:

  • The name of the field.
  • The order in which the fields appear (and whether or not they appear at all).
  • Whether or not the field is required to complete.
  • If the field is a drop-down or picker, the values that appear within that field, if there is a default value, and how many values a user can select at once.
  • Brand new fields that you create.
  • Defined opportunity, job, and placement tracks.

Each set of field mappings is broken down by entity. For example, to change the values that appear within the Status drop-down on the contact record, expand the Contact entity and locate the Status field. If necessary, you can use the column headers as filters.

Clearing cache and cookies might be required if you don't see the values or get any error. Please follow the article for that: https://kb.bullhorn.com/ats/Content/BHATS/Topics/browserBestPractices.htm

 

  • If you intend to have multiple values as a dropdown or picker option, you must use a comma ',' to seperate the values. It is hard-coded as a separator in Bullhorn.
  • When you have multiple private labels, ensure to update both/the correct one as needed using the private label drop down at the top of field maps.
  • If a record fails to save due to a "technical difficulty", this is likely due to a field mapping misconfiguration. Please ensure that if, for example customText2 is defined in a particular way on Placement II, this must also be configured identically on the master Placement track to ensure the data can store effectively.
