Set up pages, list fields and filters

Before you start

Complete the installation and Custom Metadata layout check first.

You should also know:

• which Salesforce object contains the jobs
• which field determines whether a job may appear publicly
• which fields contain title, location, salary and other public information
• which fields candidates should be able to search or filter
• the public URL you want to use for the main Jobs page

Start with the standard Jobs page

The OndaWorx managed package includes a starting Job Board configuration called Jobs.

For a straightforward implementation, start by reviewing and adapting this configuration rather than creating a completely new Job Board page.

The packaged configuration provides a useful starting point, including:

If the customer uses the packaged OW Job object, many of the starting records can simply be reviewed and adjusted.

If the customer uses a different Job object, change the Page record and related field/filter records to use that object's API names.

1. Review the OW Job Board Page record

The Page record is the main configuration for one Job Board page.

Open:

For the standard page, open Jobs.

2. Set the fixed filters — especially the publication rule

OW Job Board Filter records are rules applied by the Job Board itself.

Visitors cannot turn these filters off.

The most important fixed filter is the rule that decides whether a Job is allowed to appear publicly.

Example: checkbox publication field

Example: status field

If the customer uses a text or picklist status instead of a checkbox, use the actual stored value.

For example:

Field API Name: Portal_Status__c
Operator: EQUALS
Filter Value: Open

Supported fixed-filter operators include:

• EQUALS
• NOT_EQUALS
• CONTAINS
• GREATER_THAN
• GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUALS
• LESS_THAN
• LESS_THAN_OR_EQUALS

3. Choose what appears on each Job card

OW Job Board Field records control the information displayed for each Job in the public list.

The package includes starting field records for the standard Jobs page.

Review them and change the field API names where necessary for the customer's Job object.

Important field settings

Salary or date ranges

If the customer has separate minimum and maximum values, OndaWorx can display them as one range.

Give both field records the same Group Name, then set:

• minimum field → START
• maximum field → END

Example:

£40,000 – £55,000

4. Choose the filters visitors can use

OW Job Board Search Filter records create the controls visitors use to refine the Job List.

Typical search controls include:

• Industry or Profession
• Employment Type
• Region
• County

Dependent filters — for example Region → County

If the customer has a Salesforce field dependency such as Region controlling County, OndaWorx can use the same relationship.

1. Configure the normal Salesforce field dependency on the Job object.
2. Create the Region OndaWorx Search Filter.
3. Create the County OndaWorx Search Filter.
4. On the County Search Filter, set Parent Filter to the Developer Name of the Region Search Filter record.
5. Leave Parent Filter blank on the Region record.

5. Configure the Job Board sorting options

OW Job Board Sort records control the sorting choices available for a Job Board page.

You can create options such as:

Creating extra landing pages

Once the main Jobs page is working, the same configuration can be used to create focused pages such as:

• Permanent Jobs
• Temporary Jobs
• IT Jobs
• Construction Jobs
• Jobs in London
• Jobs in Yorkshire

Each additional logical Job Board page has its own OW Job Board Page record and related records.

Worked example — Permanent Jobs

Create a Page record:

Then create the fixed filters:

Finally create or copy the required:

• Job Board Field records
• Search Filter records
• Sort records

Connect the landing page in Experience Builder

Creating the Custom Metadata record does not create a website page by itself.

In Experience Builder:

1. Create or open the public page/route.
2. Add the OndaWorx Job List component.
3. Select the component.
4. Set Job Board Page Developer Name to the exact Developer Name of the Page record, for example Permanent_Jobs.
5. Publish the site.

Test the Job List while signed out

Open the published page in a private/incognito browser while signed out of Salesforce.

• a published eligible Job appears
• an unpublished Job does not appear
• the title and other Job card information are correct
• each search filter changes the results correctly
• Clear Filters works
• selected filters are reflected correctly when the page is refreshed
• dependent filters such as Region and County work correctly
• the default sort is correct
• any additional Sort choices work
• the View Job link opens the correct Job
• the page works on a mobile-sized screen

Advanced field reference

Most implementations can be completed using the instructions above. The sections below provide a fuller reference for administrators and implementation partners who need to customise the Job Board further.
