Notes and Considerations

1 Confirm Version of Application Requirements Manager/Recruitment Manager

Applicant Dashboard requires that you have Recruitment Manager 2.75 or higher AND do NOT use the Application Requirements Manager ‘stand-alone’ version.

IMPORTANT: If you are on the ‘stand-alone’ version of Application Requirements Manager you MUST upgrade to Recruitment Manager 2.75 or higher in order to use Applicant Dashboard. For more information on Migrating & Upgrading Application Requirements Data please contact our Support Team.

How do I know what version of App Requirements Manager I'm using? If your requirement rules are built on the Requirement Rule v2 object, you are on the CORRECT version.

2 Confirm Version of Base Package (1.52 or higher required)

Applicant Dashboard requires you to have Base Package 1.52 or higher. If you do not, please upgrade your Base Package.

3 Confirm and/or Install Payment Processing Module 1.40

Online Application requires you to have Payment Processing Module 1.40 or higher. If you do not, please install or upgrade your Payment Processing Module to the latest version.

4 Confirm and/or Install Communities package

Applicant Dashboard requires that you have the Communities package 1.9 or higher. If you do not, please install or upgrade your Communities package to the latest version.

5 Confirm and/or Install Online Application Module

Applicant Dashboard requires that you have the Online Application Module package 1.36 or higher. If you do not, please install or upgrade your Online Application Module package to the latest version.

6 Confirm and/or Install Events package *OPTIONAL*

For Applicant Dashboard ,it is recommended that you have the Events package 5.x or higher. If you do not, please install or upgrade your Events package to the latest version. If you choose NOT to install or upgrade Events, make sure to complete Step 12, which instructs you how to ‘hide’ links to Appointments and Interviews.

  • The Header Logo is the logo that appears in the top left of the screen. This is the name of the Static Resource that contains the logo. The size of this image is 70 x 60 px and is a good size for using a shield or your mascot.
