Resolution
Below are the list of supported formats in Recruiting.
- Microsoft Word (.doc, .docx)
- Adobe Portable Document Format (.pdf)
- HTML
- Images (.gif, .jpg, .jpeg, .png)
- Text file (.txt)
- .csv
Some of the non supported formats are:
- .ppt/.pptx
- .zip
- .rar
- MP4
As of now, it's not possible to configure to restrict certain types to be added as attachment.
Note: The file type of spreadsheet (.xls, .xlsx) is not supported for attachments, candidates are unable to submit files of this type. However, internal operators with write permission can upload spreadsheets to the multiattachment and multiattachmentselection fields.
However an enhancement request to include these file types (.xls , .xlsx) has been created and it can be voted upon to be added to the product in the future.
