Rule to sum values from Numeric Fields:

• 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).
• The sum function only applies to Number Field types.

Sample Case:  Sum the values from the different fields into a fourth one.
