In order to achieve the advantages of using this recruitment application, it is important that the application is configured in line with the rules and standards that apply to the organisation that is making use of it.

General
There are a few settings that do not belong to a specific section. Therefore, these are shown in the section "General". Among the settings in this section, there are settings on Salesforce and campus events. The screenshot below shows which fields belong to the section "General".
The fields that need to be filled are:
- Enable Chatter: Chatter is a Salesforce functionality that is used for communication between users of the organisation. When Chatter is used, pages will have a feed at the top of them, giving users the possibility to post comments and react to them. Chatter can also be enabled on the "Candidates"-tab and "Jobs"-tab, by checking the checkbox of this setting. This allows users to write notifications or start internal communication concerning a specific job or candidate. Note: Chatter should also be enabled in your Salesforce-Org in order to make this option possible. Enabling Chatter can be done by going to "Setup" --> "Build" --> "Customize" --> "Chatter".
- URL of campus event on company website: When a campus event is opened, the file provides an option to open that specific campus event on the website of the organisation ("View event on own site"). Since every organisation that uses this application, has a different website, the application makes use of a formula field that determines the first part of the URL. In this way, the link shows the campus event on the company website, instead of in a random page. In this field, the "API Name" of the formula field has to be entered, in order to have the link to the website working correctly. This formula field can be found by going to the "Campus event"-object in "Setup" --> "Build" --> "Create" --> "Objects".
- Salesforce domain name: The Connexys-application runs on the Salesforce-platform. On this platform every Salesforce page is placed within a sub domain of the Force.com domain. Among these pages is for example the application form for your organisation. The application form can be opened by clicking "View application form" in a job file. In order to reach the correct application form after clicking the link, the Connexys-application must know in which domain the application form page is placed. Therefore, this domain name must be filled in this field. The correct value can be found by going to "Setup" --> "Build" --> "Develop" --> "Sites" and then copy the value given in the column "Site URL".
- Maximum Age of Debug Logs before deletion: This application Setting has been created to allow users to schedule the debug log clean-up after the number of days set, e.g. after ‘2’ days. Older log records will be deleted. This process only affects cxsrec_cxsDebug_log_c and cxsrec_BHLO_Log_c records. Scheduling the process can easily be done by pressing the start button on the scheduling management page. The process will run once every night. Scheduling more often can be done using the CRON expression via Anonymous apex:
System.schedule('Debug Log Cleanup - 00', '0 0 * * * ?', new cxsrec.cxsScheduleDebugLogCleanup());
This expression above is to schedule it hourly. If you enter 0 in the application setting. It will delete all the records at night. If you enter nothing or something incorrect, it will default to 2 again.
