3363477 - Can 'Move Candidate' save changes on the Job Application page? - Recruiting Management

Symptom

  • Is it possible to save changes on Job Application page by the action 'Move Candidate' or 'Drag & Drop'?
  • What should I do if I want to change the application status after updating job application fields?

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Management

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Update some fields on the job application page;
  2. It shows a message "Changes pending. You must save your changes in order to keep them.";
  3. Select Take Action > Move Candidate to change the status;
  4. It shows a message "Changes saved. Successfully moved 1 candidate.";
  5. The status is changed; the field changes on the job application page are not saved.

Cause

The function 'Move Candidate' is used for managing applicant status only.

Resolution

The Save button will be activated when changes are made to any fields on the Job Application page. A message will appear at the top of the page:

"Changes pending. You must save your changes in order to keep them.

Without clicking the Save button, those changes will not be kept.

To change the application status after updating fields, select a new status in the candidate status field on the Job Application page, then click the Save button to save all changes.
