ERecruiting - Need help adding a new candidate job search listbox

Former Member

Hello,

I would like to give candidates the ability to search for open jobs using “Branch" location.

I am having difficulty attempting to add a new search list box for "Branch" location on the candidate job search screen in E-Recruiting.

From the IMG I have tried:

SAP E-Recruiting > Talent Warehouse > Candidate > Candidate Search > Search Templates > Assign Search Template Elements to Search Templates

Selecting work area's 21 and 31 I was unable to identify a search template element that specified the "Branch" location.

Any help anyone may have on how to accomplish this would be very much appreciated.

Respectfully,

Ryan

Additionally I have already attempted the following:

There are a number of Search Template Elements for me to choose from

FRO_POST_INST_EXTERNAL_CODE_IN

FRO_REG_JOB_INFO_CONT_TYPE_LB

FRO_REG_JOB_INFO_SAL_EXP_SME

FRO_REQ_INFO_REQ_ALIAS_INPU

FRO_REQ_JOB_INFO_COUNTRY_LB

FRO_REQ_JOB_INFO_FUNC_AREA_LB

FRO_REQ_JOB_INFO_HIER_LEV_LB

FRO_REQ_REQ_EDU_DEG_LEVEL_LB

FRO_REQ_REQ_EDU_EDU_FIELD_LB

FRO_REQ_REQ_EDU_EDU_TYPE_LB

FRO_REQ_REQ_EDU_FLD_STUDY_LB

However none of them pertain to the Branch location.

Specifically I would like the candidate to have the ability to search on the US state of where the Branch exists.

It would appear that I can add new elements from this IMG location:

SAP E-Recruiting > Talent Warehouse > Candidate > Candidate Search > Search Templates > Define Search Template Elements

Clicking "New Entry" from here allows me to specify the details of the new element. When attempting to create a new Search Template Element I am entering in the following information:

Element – FRO_REQ_JOB_INFO_LOCATION_LB

Display

Element Type LIBO List Box

Entity Table Checked

Attributes of the Infotype Category

Info Category FROZEN_REQUI_JOB_INFORMATION

Field REGION

Field Type E Entity

Data Collection

Class CL_HRRCF_BRANCH

Field REGION

Once I have saved the new Search Template Element I then assign it to Search Templates 21 and 31

21 Search Criteria for Employment Opportunity

10 FRO_REQ_JOB_INFO_FUNC_AREA_LB

20 FRO_REQ_JOB_INFO_LOCATION_LB

31 Search Criteria for Employment Opportunity

10 FRO_REQ_JOB_INFO_FUNC_AREA_LB

20 FRO_REQ_JOB_INFO_LOCATION_LB

Well searching is just possible on Branch-Country and Branch-City.

Branch region is not possible. Because different countries might have the same region ID within t005s. So no searchhelp is implemented for that, beacuse you cannot make search fileds depending on each other within the searchmask.

You might be able to create a customer searchhelp, but you have to assure, that you only use the application within one country.

The way you created a Search Template Element is ok, but you should you use the customer name space.

How would I create a Search Template Element to search on Branch Name?

Thanks!

Well,

searching on the Branch's name is not possible in standard. Also searching on the company's name is not possible.

Searching on the companies name will not be possible, without a bigger modification, I cannot recommend.

Searching on the branch's name might be possible, by programming a search help class similar to cl_hrrcf_branch.

The search would base FROZEN_BRANCH_ADDRESS_INFO-partner.

Search helps return a table of search help pairs, with the method GET_VALUEHELP_TAB.

The search help you need, must be included into a search mask element.

Within your case it should return a pair of business partner number of branches and name of branch.

Thank you again for your response Sebastian. Seeing how I am not a developer myself I am wondering if it would not be simpler to just use the use the E-Recruiting administrator link to change the branch city names to match the branch names. Our branches are named after their geographical location, i.e.

Olympia, WA.

Redlands, CA.

Although the city that they are in may be a suburb of that area and might not match exactly, the city name itself really serves no other purpose for us. However, from a configuration standpoint it would be easier to change 12 branch names and use an existing search element for branch city rather than creating a new search help.

Are you able to see any reason why this might not be a feasible alternative?

Well the thing is, that there is no search element at the moment, that contains the branch name or I have not found it yet.

As I said, in standard you have just the possibility to search for branch city and country without development.
