This editing panel is used for building the job search form, which appears at the top of the job list. Special items to be aware of in the Insert Fields list are the “Go” insert, which places the button for running the search, and the “Clear” insert, which inserts a button that empties all selections in the search form.
Below the editor, you’ll find the Auto Complete Locale switch. If the form is being configured to use one of the postal/zip code searches with a radius, PCRecruiter defaults to using a US/Canada zip code radius database. This switch can be changed if the postal search is being used in one of the other supported locales.
The Show Search Box option defaults to ‘Always Show Search.’ If set to ‘Hide Search,’ the search form will be hidden when the page loads. Instead, a ‘Search’ button will appear. Clicking the button will cause the form to expand into view. Hiding the search is recommended when only one or two pages of jobs are available.
In the Action menu at the upper right corner of the frame you will find the Custom Filters panel. This panel can generate job board URLs that are filtered to a specific query. Common uses for this utility include location or industry-specific links, job boards that include internal positions, and so on. To use this panel, enter an SQL query into the box (e.g. positions.state = ‘OH’) and click ‘Generate Search URL’ to retrieve the filtered link URL. By default, this URL will retain the filter regardless of the user’s searching or other actions. If the ‘Do not retain search’ box is checked when generating the search URL, the jobseeker will be able to view the un-filtered default job content by running a new search or otherwise leaving the initial result list generated by the filter.
