In order to create a list of job categories to be displayed on your website, helping users to limit the list of vacancies to specific fields of relevance or interest to them, you can make use of the sys:job-categories tag.
Step 1:
The first step is to select the page on which you would like the list of categories to be displayed (generally the same page on which you have chosen to display the full
job list), by clicking on its name within the "Page Structure" hierarchy on the left-hand side of the "Content Management" administration screen.
Step 2:
Once selected, open the page's "Content" tab and click on the
"Edit" icon.
Step 3:
In the editing window that appears, select the "Source" editor tab in the upper left-hand corner.
Step 4:
Working with the "Source" editor, place your cursor in the location at which you would like the list of categories to appear on the page (generally somewhere between the <body> and </body> tags in order to ensure it is within the page's body).
Step 5:
Once your cursor has been placed in the desired location, click on the "System" drop-down menu and scroll down until you reach the section labeled "HR Module."
From here, click on "job-categories" and the following tag will be inserted into the page at the location where you placed your cursor:
<sys:job-categories />
Step 6:
In order to determine the actual appearance of the list, you can add the following attributes to the tag that has just been generated:
-
xmlns:
This attribute is used to let the system now which vocabulary to use in evaluating your tags and code, so that the proper output will be generated
-
cols:
This attribute allows you to determine how many columns the list of categories will be broken up into
-
xslt:
This attribute allows you to specify some xsl file that will be used to determine how the list is formatted and transformed
-
category-id:
This attribute allows you to specify which categories to include within the list by indicating the proper ID('s)
In the end, the tag should look something like this:
<sys:job-categories xmlns="http://www.example.org/xhtml" cols="2" xslt="example-job-categories.xsl" category-id="..." />
Step 7:
Once the tag has been entered properly, simply click "Publish" at the top of the screen and the list of categories will be added to your website for the convenience of potential applicants.
