Creating the job centre main page

The Job Centre page is used to search for, and display, job postings which are created using a syndicated job posting page.

  1. Navigate to the page that will be the parent of the new page. See Parent and child pages if you are unsure what this means.

  2. Mouse over the +Childpage button and select Job Center from the list of page types. If you do not see the +Childpage button you may have insufficient user rights to add pages: speak to your system administrator.

  3. Complete the Page Summary and the General Properties sections of the page.

  4. Complete the Job Posting SourceJob Posting Source section.

    Note:
    Since your job postings will be syndicated they can be used by external sources. In this section you can indicate whether you want your Job Centre main page to access local job postings or access job postings from a different installation of the ACM.

    • Local: If the job posting pages are located locally in the same ACM installation as the one you are working in, select Local. This tells the Job Centre search page to look within its own website for job postings pages.

    • WebService:  Select this option if the job postings will be located in a different installation of ACM than the one you are working in. This tells the Job Centre search page to look at a different ACM installation for job postings pages.

    For example, you can deploy an ACM Job Centre on your Internal webserver and connect to job postings from your External webserver. As you will see, you can specify which job postings should be shared externally.

    In order to connect to job postings on the internal webserver, you must know the WebService URL generated by the Job Centre installation on the internal server. The WebService URL appears as follows:

    http://www.domain.com/cm/webui/pagetypes/SyndicatedKBA rtiSyn/SyndicationService.asmx where “www.domain.com” represents the domain name of the Job Centre on the internal server.

    If you wish to secure this connection, you can do so through IIS on your internal server by following these steps:

      • Open the IIS MMC console on the webserver. (Start->Run "inetmgr")

      • In the left pane, expand the tree to find the virtual directory of your website.

      • In the right pane, right-click SyndicationService.asmx, and choose Properties.

      • Select the File Security tab. Under Anonymous Access and Authentication Control, click Edit.

        Disable anonymous access.

        Disable integrated Windows authentication.

        Enable basic authentication.

      • Click OK to save these settings and exit the MMC console.

    If you have secured the connection, enter the username and password in the fields provided below the URL field.

    Click on the Test button to test your connection to the Webservice. You can test the connection even if you did not enable authentication. A successful test text here.

  5. Complete the PropertiesProperties section. By default, all options are checked and bulletins ordered by date.

    The properties section allows you to define what to display on the Job Centre main page.

    • Job Application Page: This field allows you to link to an Application Form page that users will use to apply for one of the listed job postings.

    • Number of Jobs Listed per page: The default number of jobs listed at a time is 10. If there are more than 10, controls are added for users to see additional pages of postings.

      • Listings should be sorted by: Select the criteria for displaying job postings. You select both the data to sort on and the direction of the sort (ascending/descending).

      • Search Results Welcome Display: The option you select here determines what will be displayed automatically each time users view the page.

        You can set the page to automatically display the 10 most recent job postings added to the system, or you can opt to display a Welcome Message.

        If you choose the Welcome Message, you must enter the text for the message in the text box.

      • Include a CAPTCHA: A CAPTCHA is a visual test used on a form to determine whether the user is human. A CAPTCHA box displays distorted characters that only a human being can read. The user must read the distorted text and type what they see into the CAPTCHA text box. This helps verify that the user is human and not a computer sending spam.

        Check this option to include a CAPTCHA box that the user must respond to.

        • Display CAPTCHA for: This field is only displayed if you check the Include a CAPTCHA checkbox. Select whether you want to force all users or only anonymous users to complete the CAPTCHA.

        • CAPTCHA  introduction text: this is the text that tells the user what to do (e.g. "Please enter the characters you see in the picture:").

        • CAPTCHA error text: The text you enter here is displayed when a user types the incorrect code into the CAPTCHA text box (e.g. "The code you entered does not match the image, please re-enter").

        • CAPTCHA sound icon: If users are unable to read the distorted text, they can click the sound icon in the CAPTCHA box to have the characters read out loud. They can then type in what they hear instead of having to read the characters.

          The default icon displayed is the speaker icon. You can select the system accessibility icon (the wheelchair) or you can select the
          Custom Icon option and click on the <<Select Digital Asset>> link to select your own icon.

  6. Click Save.

  7. Configure the Search OptionsSearch Options settings.

    This section allows you to add and manage search fields. For example, if you want people to be able to search for job postings by Job Region, you must check that option and make sure it is Active.

    For each search option you want displayed on the published page, you must select the option, check the Active checkbox, indicate if users can select more than one item at a time (multi-select) and whether you want the search criteria displayed as part of the search results.

    The black checkmarks beside each column header allow you to select/deselect ALL.

  8. Click Save and submit the page for publication.

  9. Proceed with the creation of the Syndicated Job Posting pages.
