The Standardization Mapping is used to map fields from the instance to Third Parties, such as Apply with LinkedIn and RMK Social Apply but you can also configure a validation once the Candidate refers a Background Element information as current. The feature will be limited to two Backgrounds information, one for employment and one for qualifications in general. Notice that for this validation, only a single field will be used. In case you don't have any Third Party configured, it's not necessary to configure the remaining fields.

The following steps are used as reference. Please, contact your Partner or Implementation Team for more information.

Previous Work Experience

Besides all the information the Background Element is configured to collect, to have the End Date validation, you must have the following 3 data-fields:

• presentEmployer:
• Present Employer is the picklist field where you will set up the Yes and No answer for the candidate based on the picklist options.

• startDate & endDate:
• Start Date and End Date are fields that will contain date values and will be validated against each other, where Start Date must precede End Date.

XML:

<background-element id="testWorkBackgroundElement" type-id="10" sensitive="false">

  <label><![CDATA[Test Work Background]]></label>

  <label xml:lang="en_US"><![CDATA[Test Background Element]]></label>

    <data-field id="presentEmployer" field-name="vfld1" max-length="999" anonymize="false">

    <label><![CDATA[Is this your present employer?]]></label>

    <label xml:lang="en_US"><![CDATA[Is this your present employer?]]></label>

    <picklist id="forEmp"/>

  </data-field>

    <label><![CDATA[End Date]]></label>

    <label xml:lang="en_US"><![CDATA[End Date]]></label>

  </data-field>

</background-element>

Qualification Details

The Qualification Details will work similar to the Previous Work Experience, you must only replace the presentEmployer by presentStudent. Please, refer to the XML code:

<background-element id="testQualificationBackground" type-id="15" sensitive="false">

  <label><![CDATA[Test Qualification Background]]></label>

  <label xml:lang="en_US"><![CDATA[Test Qualification Background Element]]></label>

    <data-field id="presentStudent" field-name="ifld1" max-length="999" anonymize="false">

    <label><![CDATA[Are you a student?]]></label>

    <label xml:lang="en_US"><![CDATA[Is present student?]]></label>

    <picklist id="student"/>

  </data-field>

  <data-field id="startDate" field-name="startDate" max-length="999" anonymize="false">

    <label><![CDATA[From Date]]></label>

    <label xml:lang="en_US"><![CDATA[From Date]]></label>

  </data-field>

  <data-field id="endDate" field-name="endDate" max-length="999" anonymize="false">

    <label><![CDATA[End Date]]></label>

    <label xml:lang="en_US"><![CDATA[End Date]]></label>

  </data-field>

</background-element>
