Proposal wizard

Introduction

The proposal wizard can be used to share candidates with hiringmanagers. 

There are three ways to open the proposal wizard:

1. Open the workflow and share a (set of) job application(s) with the hiringmanager. 
2. Open the candidate record detail page and press the "Propose" button
3. Open the proposals tab and press the New button

The proposal wizard has the following steps:

Step 1: Select the candidate(s) you want to propose

Step 2: Select the contact(s) to whom you want to propose 

Step 3: Choose to share an existing CV or use the CV Generator 

Step 4: Compose email

Step 5: Depending on Step 3, the CV Generator will be shown or the preview of the email and documents.

Step 6: Review and safe

In the MVP version of the lightning application, the CV generator has quite some limitations. 

 

Where can this component be used?
