With the Universal Applicant View (UAV), you can view and manage a full list of all your applicants in all Openings and all stages. Think of this screen as more of a birds-eye-view over all of your Openings versus the Applicant Table which shows you applicants in a specific Opening and by the stage they are currently in.
Watch the following video for an overview of the Universal Applicant View:
Access the Universal Applicant View
To navigate to the Universal Applicant View, click Applicants in the top toolbar of any Fountain page and then click Universal Applicant View in the dropdown.
Universal Applicant View Capabilities
Unlike the Applicant Table, you cannot customize the columns, reorder columns, or add Quick Action buttons to the UAV.
You will also be able to search for applicants on this screen with the applicant search.
You can complete Bulk Actions on this screen by checking the box to the left of applicants' names and using the Bulk Actions menu that appears at the bottom of the UAV. You can also select all applicants on the screen by checking the box in the column header section or all applicants based on any filters set by clicking Select All (#) in the Bulk Actions menu.
If you want to filter for applicants in a specific Opening or stage on the UAV, use the FIlter by Jobs/Stages button. You will also have the Filter by Applicant Data filter which is also on the Applicant Table. Learn more about using filters by reading this article.
Collapse Status Labels
The Universal Applicant View includes a Collapse statuses feature to improve readability when reviewing applicants with extensive status label histories. This feature works the same way as it does on the Applicant Table.
By default, all status labels are expanded, showing every status update an applicant has received. To collapse statuses:
Locate the Collapse statuses checkbox in the upper right area above the applicant list.
Check the box to collapse status labels.
When the Collapse statuses feature is enabled:
Each applicant row shows only their most recent status
A "Show all" link appears below the collapsed status
Click "Show all" to expand an individual applicant's full status history without affecting other rows
Your collapse preference is automatically saved and applies across both the Universal Applicant View and the Applicant Table. The preference persists for 1 week and is remembered when you navigate between the two views.
Unlike the Applicant Table, the Universal Applicant View does not allow customizing columns or adding Quick Action buttons. However, the Collapse statuses feature works identically in both views.
