# Add or Edit a Req

Abstract

Product: **BrassRing**

## Add or Edit a Req

- Your company might have multiple req templates to choose from. Req forms are customized for your organization.
- Making a selection in an **Autocomplete**field, inserts details into other fields on the form.
- When adding a req, some fields might be read only.
- When you select a Job code, some or all of the fields on your req form might populate with pre-defined information. The process is referred to as Job Code Default Data (JCDD).
- Saving a Req as new is a shortcut for creating a req by duplicating a req that is already in BrassRing. This copied information can be edited.
- If multiple languages were purchased, reqs can be created in more than one language. Reqs can be posted in the languages you select. Candidates can then search for, view, and apply to those requisitions in the language of their choice.

## Evergreen Reqs

Organizations typically use evergreen requisitions for high turn-over roles for which they continually accept applications. Evergreen Reqs:

- Can be posted indefinitely until manually removed.
- Allow an organization to hire up to 999,999,999 candidates within on req.
- The archive function can help an organization manage the candidate volume.
- Ability to exclude Evergreen requisitions or archived candidates for evergreen requisitions from DIT reports.
- Use the Push and Pull RAM triggers to automate the distribution of candidates.
- Use the Req Reapply function to allow candidates to apply to requisitions multiple times. Coupled with specific RAM triggers, this function can restrict the timeframe in which the candidates can reapply to specific requisitions.

Organizations can have a separate requisition template for evergreen requisitions or use their existing standard requisition template by identifying it as an evergreen requisition. The differences between an evergreen requisition and a standard requisition are:

- User selects **Yes**for the **Evergreen Requisition field.**
- An **infinity sign** appears in the **Days until posted** and the **Removal date field**on the Posting page.

Standard reqs already opened and posted can be changed to evergreen reqs as follows:

1. **Unpost**the standard req from any **Talent Gateway.**
2. **Edit**the standard req and change the **Evergreen Req** field for Evergreen Req to **Yes**.
3. Complete the Req form and post the req.

## Process

### Add a Req

1. Select Menu → Reqs → Add new req.
2. Select a **Req template**by using the pull-down menu.
  - If you are using more than one language **select the languages**for the requisition by using the pull-down menu.
3. Select **Add new.**
4. The **new job req** window opens. Insert the details of the Req. Fields with an asterisk are required to be completed before saving.

  - BrassRing assigns a unique req number for every req that is created, whether the req is opened or not.
  - Removing the req creator from the req team can only be accomplished when creating the requisition. The field becomes read-only after the req has been saved and cannot be edited.
  - Editing the description opens a Text Editor that is used to add formatting to the description. This text editor can be used to insert links, images, and videos into the description.
  - Selected recruiters and managers have access to the req, and have similar privileges as the req creator and Req Team. Some Managers might not have access to BrassRing and interact with the Req through eLinks.
  - BrassRing automatically decreases the **number of positions** whenever a candidate is hired for a req until 0 is reached, at which point the req might be closed.
  - The **Set Proximity Coordinates** section allows the recruiter to enter location information specific to the requisition. Candidates, in turn, can search for positions within a certain distance of their location on the Talent Gateways.
  - If you are creating a multi-language req, you can select or deselect each language to create the req in, and toggle between each hyperlinked language.
  - Req team members are individuals who might help filling a req. It might be a colleague who covers the req while you are away from the office or perhaps an HR Generalist. Req team members, req creators, and the recruiter for a job req, generally can:
    - Receive emails with the req details, such as when it is opened or put on hold.
    - Access and update HR statuses of candidates that are associated with the req.
    - Search and locate reqs for which they are team members.
    - Edit or modify the req form.
  - Selecting **Autofiler Notification** prevents email notifications from being sent to the members of the req if a candidate is Autofiled to the req folder to which they have applied.
  - Errors can be encountered in [Text Area] fields when saving the Req form. The errors can be caused by issues with HTML tags, or invisible characters if the content was pasted from a third-party program or website. For information on correcting these issues, see [Using Notepad++ to Identify Missing HTML Tags and Invisible Characters](https://cdn.us.document360.io/4bb62c4c-9973-48ec-ab93-23d4b1755503/Images/Documentation/Reviewing_HTML.pdf).
5. If applicable to your company, expand the **Approval routing** section by using the **arrow**.

  - Select the BrassRing users to approve the req by using the pull-down menus.
  - Select **Bypass** to bypass that Approval section.
  - Select **Non-system user,** and enter the users email address, if the approver is not a BrassRing user.
6. Add users to **Notify Upon Approval Completion**. These users receive an email when all approvals were received for the req.
7. Select **Save**.
  - If multiple languages were selected, the req form opens in the next language selected. Complete the req form for all languages that are selected and select **Save**.
8. Insert an email message to the first approver and, if needed, the Req team. To copy the Req team, select **CC: req team.**
9. Select **Open Req** to open the **Posting Options** window. For more information on posting reqs, see [Searching Reqs](/v1/docs/searching-reqs)
