Configurable Job References

By default, supported Seven20 job board aggregator integrations will use will use the packaged seven20__Job_Board_Reference__c field on the Job object as a Job Reference when posting. This can be customised, a Seven20 Configuration Metadata setting called Job_Board_Reference_Field controls the field used. To change this, simply update the value field of the metadata record to the API name of the relevant field on Job and save.

Not all Seven20 job board aggregator integrations currently support this feature, refer to each integrations specific documentation to see if this feature is supported

Integrating with existing data

The packaged seven20__Job_Board_Reference__c field is an Auto Number field. Standard functionality means that Auto Number fields only get populated for new records. If installing the integration in an environment with existing data, the packaged Auto Number field will not be populated on old records.

To generate auto numbers for old records, create a new Auto Number field on the Job object and ensure ‘Generate Auto Number for existing records' is checked. Then update the Job_Board_Reference_Field configuration setting to point to the newly created field.
