A career path shows a route to a job or position from a different job or position.

You define career paths for positions using position hierarchies.

See: Position Hierarchies

You define career paths for jobs using the Career Path Names window and the Map Career Path window.

   To define a career path based on job progression:

1. In the Career Path Names window, enter the names of the career paths you want to define.

2. Save your work.

3. Open the Map Career Path window. In the Name field, select the top job in the career path you are mapping.

4. In the Career Path Name field, select the name of a career path you defined in Step 1.

5. In the Job Progression From block, select all jobs that are one level down from the job identified in the Name field.

6. To extend the career path downwards from any one of these jobs, select the relevant Down check box.

   The window now shows your selected job in the Name field. The Job Progression To field now shows the job at the top of the career path.

7. Repeat Steps 5 and 6 until the career path is fully defined. To move back up the career path, select the Up check box.

8. Save your work.
