Overview tables
The following overview tables are supported on the Home page:

Hiring managers should use the “Next step” function instead.

APPLICATIONS
A hiring manager can see all the jobs that are linked to them, and all released applications corresponding to those jobs — regardless of which branch office the manager belongs to.
In the Applications section, hiring managers get a global overview of all applicants/applications. Users can choose to display or hide various data in this global overview. By selecting a specific applicant, a hiring manager can view their application documents and enter or view assessments. In addition to viewing application documents, (alternate) hiring managers also have access to a number of possible actions (see next section).
- It is not recommended that hiring managers edit or modify the application status. The authority to make status changes should be reserved to the HR expert (or recruiter).
Hiring managers should use the “Next step” function instead.
Available actions for (alternate) hiring managers in the application documents
Note that some actions are linked to specific conditions. For example, certain links / available actions are only displayed for particular roles (hiring manager vs. alternate hiring manager), or are dependent on other factors (e.g. whether assessment questions have been entered). In addition, the different links must also be enabled for display via configuration mode. We recommend that you enable each of the links / available actions you need in only a single place — either in the action bar (centrally) or in the data area (in the relevant data field).
