Create and Manage Position Types
Position Types help organize and filter positions and create custom approval templates. For example, users can create Full-Time and Part-Time Faculty types within the Faculty category (check out more examples in the table below). Every position in Faculty Search must have an assigned position type, which can be created and edited by Institutional Administrators. The Position Settings page displays a list of position types, their categories, and options to edit, delete, or add new position types. This article explains how to create and edit position types on the Position Settings page.
Default position types are provided and can be modified, but each type must be assigned a position category, which cannot be edited or deleted.
Within a position Category, a user may create multiple position types. It is recommended to start only with the position you are certain you will post.
Two position types cannot have the same name, even if they have different categories.
