A Job Board can take the URL and manipulate the URL as below.
This added value "JobBoard" is stored in the Successfactors database.
This value will be then visible as source in the Application section. and in ad hoc reports.
Equest or job boards do not have to be set up in the customers instance for this to happen.
Resolution
SuccessFactors are unable to do anything about this. If the customer does not want this Job Board to do this, they will have to address the issue with the Job Board.
