Updating jobs

Updating a job can have an effect on associated positions, work assignments, and job requisitions, depending on the job field default rules in place for the organization. For example, if you select Default No Override for a field default rule, when the job field value is changed, the corresponding position, work assignment and requisition field value will also be changed to that new value. If the default rule for a job field is Default With Override, when the job field is changed, the field value will be changed on the corresponding position, work assignment, and requisition field only if the value is the same (that is, the value has not been overridden). If the value has been overridden, the override value is retained on the position, work assignment, and requisition.

When a field is changed on the position or job, its associated job requisitions and job postings update accordingly. This occurs when the organization level Enable Requisition Synchronization With Job And Position Updates option is enabled and a rule is selected in its configuration.

If a job is synchronized with a position, the position short description, description, and active status are always synchronized to the job short description, description, and active status. Other field values follow the job field default rules, where applicable.
