    • If necessary, use the Organization Levels tab of the Manage Dictionaries screen to enable or disable individual values for specific organization levels.

    • Configure deletion of dictionary values. Administrators can delete dictionary entries, ensuring the deleted entries do not appear in the user interface. This makes that dictionary value unavailable for future use. Note: When users delete a dictionary value from Manage Dictionaries, the dictionary value is soft deleted only. A soft delete occurs when a dictionary value is deleted from the interface but is NOT yet removed from the Talent Suite database. After a certain time frame, a scheduler runs in the background and deletes the dictionary value from the Talent Suite database permanently. Note: When a dictionary value is tied to job/applicant/employee/other records, users only need to disable (soft delete) the value, not remove it from the database completely. Tied records show this value, but the dictionary value is unavailable to select for any other Talent Suite records. If users import or add the same dictionary value through Settings >Utilities or Settings >Manage Dictionaries respectively, which has already been soft deleted, then the soft delete in Talent Suite is canceled. This rule also applies to dictionary values exported through the Settings >Utilities tab.
