Creating, Editing, and Deleting Positions

Creating, Editing, and Deleting Positions

To get started, use the app launcher 𓃑 and search for Company Structure. On the company structure page, you will see a list on the left of the screen. This list contains all active positions in your company.

In this left pane, you can use Quick Search to find a specific position. You can also click the funnel icon to open filters. Positions with a Start Date in the future will only be visible if you open the filters and check the Show Future Positions box. If you create a position with a Start Date in the future, it will not be displayed here until that date.

Clicking the down arrow ⌄ next to a position will show all active positions managed by that role. The icon color indicates the status of the position:

  • Blue = Staffed
  • Orange = Recruiting or Scheduled
  • Red = Upcoming Vacancy
  • Gray = Vacant or Disabled

To learn more about position statuses, read the Position Status section of this guide.

In the middle of the screen, you will see further details related to the selected position.
