Location mapping in Recruiting Marketing

[Nim_18]

Hi Experts,

Our goal is for the location object "name" to show on our XML feed template. We use the location object itself in the req, and have completed the standard/recommended mapping in Recruiting Marketing Job Field Mapping, but on our feed template, we do not see the same "name" we're seeing on the req. 

Sample Req with "Name": 

Job Field Mapping: 

Sample Feed Template value: 

Question: Is it possible for the location object "name" to be mapped in any custom fields in Recruiting Marketing Job Field Mapping? Or is there a way to set this up differently on the object so it comes through as a name? 

Regards,

Nimesha

Hi @Nim_18 ,

When you use the Location Object on the Job Requisition, the Location field stores an object reference (Location GUID), not the display name.
Even though you see the “Name” in the Recruiting UI, RMK feeds don’t automatically resolve it to the display name unless that specific location field is mapped as a string field in CSB > Job Field Mapping.

Solution : Use a Custom String Field

1. Create a custom field in the Job Requisition (e.g.,customLocationName)

2. Make it a standard string field type.

3. Add a Business Rule that auto-populates this custom field with the Location.name whenever the req is created.

Rule Sample
Event: On Save
IF: Location is not empty
THEN: Set customLocationName=Location.name

1. Map customLocationName to the feed field in

Hope this helps!! Let me know if you need any help

Thanks,

kr,

karthick.

@karthick_0905 : Thanks a lot for your valuable inputs. Could you also tell me if there is some adidtional step to be done for custom fields to appear in the feed. We mapped the custom field but it does not appear in the feed.We unposted and reposted the jobs but that didn't work too.How can we get the field to appear on the feed?Thanks.
