Find out how to delete Custom Fields from Manage
A Custom Field is a field that can be populated in the ATS, according to your internal requirements.
These are set up in Manage and can be triggered at Job Requisition stage and during the job creation stage.
Historically, Custom Fields have not been able to be deleted from Manage. Now though, Manage users have the ability to delete fields as required.
Log into Manage and select the ‘Platform Configuration’ drop-down menu
- Select the ‘Customer Fields’ option:
You will be presented with a screen that looks like this:
In order to delete a Customer Field, you must first ‘Disable’ it from view on the ATS.
This is done by selecting the ‘Toggle Field’ option next to the relevant field:
When you select this option, the screen will refresh and you will no longer see the Custom Field presented on the screen.
Please note - the field has not yet been deleted, simply hidden from view.
In order to delete it completely, scroll to the top of the page and select ‘Show all questions’ in the top left-hand corner of the screen:
You will then see all Custom Fields that have been created for your ATS:
Any that have been Disabled will show a ‘Delete Field’ option on the right-hand side of the screen
- Simply click this option to delete the Custom Field completely.
You will then be presented with a confirmation pop-up:
Once ‘OK’ is selected, the Custom Field will be deleted.
Please note - there is no way to reverse this action - once a field has been deleted, it is not possible to reinstate it.
If you delete anything in error, you will need to re-add the Custom Field, in the normal way.
