Overview

Eightfold provides extensive customization options for your Events homepage and candidate views. This enabled you to tailor your experience and gain precise insights into event activities and candidate progression. This flexibility ensures that the most relevant information is readily accessible for different user roles and event types.

1. Modern and consistent design: The Events homepage features a modern layout designed to be consistent with other product areas, providing a familiar and intuitive user experience.
2. Enhanced filters: Beyond standard filters, you can apply location filters with autocomplete and incorporate custom filters based on specific custom fields configured for your events. This allows for highly targeted searches and organization of events.
3. Configurable columns for activity tracking: The Events list page allows you to customize the columns displayed to track various event activities. You can choose to show data based on:
• Candidate activities: Such as "All Activities," "Added to Event," "Registered," "Attended," "Assessed," and "Feedback received".
• Event stages: You can configure columns to reflect candidate counts in specific stages or across entire stage groups.
• Combined stage lists/groups: Combine multiple stages or stage groups into a single column for a comprehensive overview.
4. Role-based visibility: Columns can be configured with role-based visibility, restricting certain views or data points to specific roles (for example, a recruiter might see all candidate activities, while an interviewer sees only relevant feedback stages).
5. Clickable activity statistics: The numbers displayed in the activity and stage columns are clickable. Clicking on them will automatically redirect you to the relevant Candidates tab with pre-applied filters, allowing for quick drill-downs into specific candidate populations.

Customizations

Configure filters

1. Access the Admin Console and navigate to the Events Home configuration section.
2. Here, you can set up both standard filters (like event status) and custom filters based on custom fields you've created for your events. For example, if you have a custom field for "Purpose of an Event," you can configure it as a filter on the homepage.

Customize columns for event activity and stages

• Within the Events Home configuration in the Admin Console, you can define the columns that appear on your Events homepage.
• For each column, you can specify its type (for example, candidate_activity, stage, stage_group, stage_list) and its display name.
• To show the number of candidates in a particular stage, select type: "stage" and map it to a specific workflow and step ID defined in your event stages configuration.
• To limit column visibility, assign specific roles to the column. For example, a column showing "All Activities" might only be visible to "recruiter" and "hiring_manager" roles.

View options

On the Events homepage, you can switch between different views. Event groups specifically lists Event Groups, showing how many child events are part of each group.

The standard Events view displays all individual events, with a column indicating if they belong to an Event Group.
