3169795 - How to delete/remove fields from the Application Template via Manage Templates - Recruiting Management

!IMPORTANT! The manage templates is a very powerful tool to be used and should be handled carefully. Each change made will reflect directly into the system and your configurations, if you're not comfortable using that please reach out to your implementation partner or to some authorized partner.

Note: It is not suggested to explicitly delete any field, as deleting it will erase all the information stored under the affected field for all candidates which means reportable information will no longer be reportable and this information will also not be recoverable. If the field is no longer needed, you can remove it from the application template by removing the permissions related to that, on that way the information stored under the affected field will not be deleted and the field will only be hidden on the UI, you can recover/unhide the field later anytime if needed.
