• Business Rules in Recruiting

Rule to convert a string value to a from lowercase to uppercase or vice-versa:

• It's possible to define this rule structure to all 4 Recruiting templates. Please, make sure to select the correct template while creating the rule.
• When selecting a template, you will only be able to work within the selected scenario. For example, if you create a Candidate Profile rule and you want to have the same on the Job Application, you must create a Job Application rule as well.

IMPORTANT:

• Candidate Profile and Job Application rules are not supported when Mobile Apply is enabled. Business Rules for Mobile Apply are on road map and will be enhanced on further releases (2866437 & 2781775).

Sample Case: Converting both Candidate Profile's First Name and Last Name into an uppercase format (Since the rule isn't triggered in the initial creation page, the format will be changed in the second creation page.).
