Purpose:
The Job Source viewer enables you to create, maintain or select the records used to define how a Job was secured.
Example:
Typically, job sources are used to identify the source of advertising (newspaper ad, yellow pages) that generated the job. By specifying a job source in your job records, you can track the effect of your advertising and promotional activities.
Usage:
Optional but recommended in the Job record for tracking advertising/marketing effectiveness. A similar field, Market Source, is used to track how a customer found your company.
Referenced in Records: Job.
Important Fields:
Note: this Help Topic lists the standard configuration of all fields which may be included in this record. If you are using a customized system, the fields displayed on your screen may not exactly match the order or status (required, optional, default, display-only, hidden, etc.) of the fields described in this Topic.
Job Source Id: (10 character, only . and - special characters)
Uniquely identifies the job source. This field is required.
