Document Subsidiary Forms

An example of a document subsidiary form is an offer document template that has an offer response (document subsidiary form) defined. The actual offer response can be created only by an action on the Candidate Zone/Portal, by the candidate in responding with an acceptance or rejection of the offer. That completed document subsidiary form (offer response) is associated 1:1 with the candidate document (candidate offer). Document subsidiary forms are configurable, like candidate forms. A document subsidiary form template is always used with a document and is identified in the document template.

Process

Add a Document Subsidiary Form

  1. Select Tools → Forms → Document Subsidiary Forms.

  2. Select Actions → Add new form.

  3. A Field Attributes window opens. Enter the Field Attributes as needed.

    1. Set a Database Title. This is the title of the form as it appears in the database tables. There should be no spaces; use the underscore (_) or dash (-) as a space replacement.

    2. Set a Title. This is the name that appears on the form and in form lists in BrassRing. The field limit is 255 characters (including spaces). The field defaults to display in English (US). The translation option is available if using additional languages.

    3. Add a disclaimer. A disclaimer can be added to the end of the form, for example a data privacy disclaimer. The field limit is 7,500 characters. The field defaults to English (US). Translation option is available if using additional languages. HTML coding is accepted for formatting and embedding URL links.

    4. Select the User Types that can Search for this form as candidate search criteria.

    5. Select the User Types that can Output information from this form into candidate search results.

    6. As of Release 18.11.12, the Notify Users Upon Form Creation fields are disabled. If your organization used this setting, the values previously selected are kept visible but are not editable. Hovering over these settings displays a message that a RAM trigger should be used in place of this setting. For more information on creating this RAM trigger, see Candidate Accepts/Declines Offer.

    7. Use Form Field Alignment to set the alignment for the form's fields. Options are Default and Left. The Default option center-aligns the fields.

    8. The Form Layout indicates whether this form has the enhanced layout enabled. This defaults to classic. This setting is disabled if an enhanced layout is not saved for the form. See Enhanced Layout for more information.

    9. Set View All User Types to allow users to view all instances of this form in BrassRing, even if they did not originate the form.

    10. Set Modify All User Types to allow the user to modify all instances of this form in BrassRing, even if they did not originate the form.

    11. Set Delete All User Types to indicate which User Types can delete any instance of this form in BrassRing. This is typically a Super User function. It is recommended that if you give a User Type this privilege, it is a good idea to also give them View All and Modify All privileges.
