number of applications received. If a position is not published, a Start Recruitment

In the Questions tab, click on Add a section to add a section to the form. A line appears, and a section heading can be entered. When complete, click off the line, or press enter to lock in the new section on the form.
Next, click Add a question to add a question to the section. A pop-up window appears to enter the question details. Type out the question in the top line.
There are several Question Types to choose from:
Multiple choice: only one answer: a multiple choice question that only allows the candidate to select one answer
Multiple choice: multiple answers allowed: a multiple choice question that allows the candidate to select multiple answers
Multiple Lines Text Box: allows the applicant to enter several lines of text
Single Line Text Box: limits the applicant to only a single line of text
Numerical Value: only allows a number to be entered
Date: a calendar module is presented to select a date
Datetime: a calendar module and a clock icon is presented to select a date and time

After selecting a question type, a sample question appears in gray. This represents how the question format will be displayed to applicants.

Sections are indicated by a gray background, while questions have a white background.
Antwoorden¶
If Multiple choice: only one answer, Multiple choice: multiple answers allowed, Single Line Text Box, or Matrix is selected for the Question Type, an Answers tab appears beneath the question. If another Question Type is selected, the Answers tab remains hidden from view.
For both the Multiple choice: only one answer and Multiple choice: multiple answers allowed question types, the answers are populated in the same way.
First, in the Answers tab, click Add a line. A line appears, and an answer can be entered. After typing in the answer, click off the line, or press enter to lock in the new answer on the form and have another answer line appear.
If desired, an image can be attached to the answer. Click on a line to select it, and an Upload your file button appears on the right side. Click the Upload your file button and a file explorer window appears. Navigate to the photo file, select it, then click Open to select it.
Repeat this for all the answers to be added for the multiple choice question. The answers can be rearranged in any order. To move an answer, click on the ↕️ (Up-down arrows) on the far left of each answer line, and drag the answer to the desired position. The order the answers appear in the form is the order the answers will appear online.
To delete a line, click on the 🗑️ (trash can) icon on the far right side of the answer line.
If the Single Line Text Box is selected for the Question Type, only two checkboxes appear in the Answers tab:
Input must be an email: Activate this option if the answer must be in the format of an email address.
Save as user email?: This option appears if Input must be an email is selected. This saves the email entered on the form as the user’s email, and will be used anytime Odoo contacts the user via email.
Save as user nickname?: Activate this option to populate the answer as the user’s nickname. This is stored and used anywhere Odoo uses a nickname.
Sometimes, a question is asked that does not fit a standard answer format, and is best suited for a matrix. For example, asking an applicant what is their availability to work compared to the various shifts is a perfect question for a matrix format. In this example, an applicant can click on all the shifts they are available to work.
For a Matrix Question Type, there are two sets of data that need to be input. The rows and columns must both be configured. The columns are represented by the Choices section, while the rows are configured in the Rows section.
The method for populating both sections is the same. In the Answers tab, click Add a line in either the Choices or Row section. A line appears, and an answer can be entered. After typing in the answer, click off the line, or press enter to lock in the new answer on the form and have another answer line appear. Repeat this for all answers for both the Choices and Rows sections.
This is an example matrix that asks an applicant what shifts they are available to work on Saturdays and Sundays, either morning, afternoon, or evening.¶
