Data Validation Upon Moving Applicants

The Data Validation feature allows you to validate or append new information to a particular stage. It is triggered when applicants are manually inserted into a stage to verify the applicant has met all requirements in the workflow; including requirements in stages they may have bypassed.

Data validation must be set up on a manual stage move. If you set up data validation on a stage that has applicants move in automatically, the data validation will be inapplicable. 

Adding New Data Validation

  1. Navigate to Company Settings by hovering over your name at the top right corner of the page.

    When selecting fields to validate, you'll be able to add different types of fields. You can select a pre-existing field (already in applicants' profiles), so the data validation would update the existing field value. OR you can add a new field, and it would be added to applicants' profiles.
  5. Once you're done determining which fields to validate, select Save.
