Admins can configure the dismiss reasons shown to employees in Career Navigator. Instead of fixed options, you can define reasons that reflect your organization's career development language and internal mobility context.

For Admins

You can now manage dismiss reasons from the admin configuration panel. Go to Admin Console > Talent Management > Home, Feeds,Career Hub Features > Configuration > Career Navigator Page > Dismiss Reasons > Add Dismiss Reasons.

• Add up to 4 custom dismiss reasons (minimum 1 required if you choose to configure)
  
• Edit, delete, and reorder reasons at any time
  
• Each reason supports up to 50 characters
  
• Duplicate entries are not allowed.

If no custom reasons are configured, the two default options — "Not aligned to personal goals" and "Incorrect/improbable organisational transition" — continue to work as-is for employees, with no setup required. Custom reasons only take effect once you add at least one. At that point, your configured reasons replace the defaults entirely.

For Employees

The dismiss experience is unchanged in terms of interaction — single-select radio buttons, optional selection, and a free-text field remain available. The reasons shown will now reflect what your organization has configured. Localization (i18N) is supported.

Analytics & Data Integrity

• Dismiss reasons are stored as text at the time of the dismissal event
  
• Editing a reason's display text creates a new reason in the data — historical records retain the original text
  
• Deleting a configured reason does not affect historical dismissal data — past records continue to reference the reason as it existed at the time
  
• All dismissal data remains queryable from Datahub
