Example - Using the VACANCY_RULE_TYPE Attribute

To enable you to add rules to the predefined transaction type, iRecruitment provides an attribute VACANCY_RULE_TYPE that you can customize to create a new condition for your rule.

This example shows how to customize the iRecruitment Vacancy Approval transaction type to use different set of rules.

The predefined rule - iRecruitment Create Vacancy has the following conditions:

VACANCY_RULE_TYPE in {SEEDED_RULE}

VACANCY_INSERT_OR_UPDATE in {CREATE_VACANCY}

To customize the transaction to enable a different approval process based on the number of openings (Budget Measurement Value), follow these steps:

Create a new condition: VACANCY_RULE_TYPE in {CUSTOM_RULE}.
Create new rules with your condition as given in the example:
- Rule: Create Vacancy Custom
  
  Conditions:
  
  VACANCY_RULE_TYPE in {CUSTOM_RULE}
  
  VACANCY_INSERT_OR_UPDATE in {INSERT}
  
  VACANCY_BUDGET_MEASUREMENT_VALUE <= 9
  
  Actions: Supervisory level: require approvals up to the first superior, at most.
- Rule: Create Vacancy Custom - large
  
  Conditions:
  
  VACANCY_RULE_TYPE in {CUSTOM_RULE}
  
  VACANCY_INSERT_OR_UPDATE in {INSERT}
  
  10 <= VACANCY_BUDGET_MEASUREMENT_VALUE
  
  Actions: supervisory level: Require approvals up to the first three superiors, at most.
Change the value of the attribute VACANCY_RULE_TYPE to the static text CUSTOM_RULE.
Save your changes and bounce the Apache listener.

After these changes, users would require 3 levels of approval when creating vacancies with 10 or more openings, and would require only 1 level of approval when the number of openings is less than 10. Note that after you change the VACANCY_RULE attribute, none of the supplied rules apply any more. In this example, only create transactions will require approval.
