• The available display options will be limited to the fields declared inside the template is use. Basically, as a standard configuration, any information that cannot be found inside the template, won't be available to configured as a display option.
• The Display Options button on Candidate and Application summary will only be available if the Candidate Summary Options is configured in the template, otherwise the button will be hidden.
• Background elements can not be configured via Manage Templates and be visible in Candidate Search Display Options.
• If Read Access Logging is enabled (on Admin centre → Manage Audit Configuration → Read Audit), then it's expected that sensitive fields like ssn and ethnicity fields will be hidden on both filter and display options.
• Display Options appear for all Users in all statuses. There is no way to permissions display options fields to only specific Users, or for only specific statuses.
