Creating an HTML Start PageLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use

The first step of the simple HR process that you create is an HTML page that presents for example, the requirements the applicant should meet to be eligible for the vacancy.

You can design the HTML in an appropriate editor, and then upload it as a content package object in Guided Procedures, and expose it as a callable object. Then you create an action and attach the callable object to it, thereby enabling its use in a process template.

Prerequisites
  • You must have the appropriate permissions for creating objects in the gallery.
  • You must have created a plain HTML page. You do not need to implement any specific logic in it.
    Tip

    You can copy the following HTML code and paste it into a text editor. Save the file as StartPage.htm.

    <html>

    <head>

    <meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us">

    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
