How to Configure Candidate Registration Fields?
The Candidate Registration section allows administrators to configure the fields that candidates must fill in during self-registration on the portal.
To access this section:
- Log in to the Admin Portal.
- Navigate to Admin → Settings.
- From the left navigation panel, click on Candidate Panel.
- Select Candidate Registration.
This page displays all the fields that can be shown to candidates during the registration process.
To modify the registration form:
- Click on the Edit button located at the top-right corner of the page.
- Once enabled, administrators can:
- Add or remove registration fields
- Mark fields as mandatory
- Enable field verification options
- Reorder fields using drag-and-drop functionality
Fields can be dragged upward or downward, and the registration form will reflect the same order on the candidate portal.
Additionally:
- Candidates can be asked to upload up to two additional documents apart from the profile picture.
- Administrators can also configure and display a Privacy Policy for candidates during registration.
This feature provides flexibility in collecting candidate information based on organizational or examination requirements.
Save your changes in the registration by clicking on 'Save' button.
The Hierarchical Dropdown List feature allows administrators to create dependent dropdown fields during candidate registration. Each dropdown level is linked to its parent, enabling candidates to select values in a hierarchical manner (for example, Country → State → City).
Navigation Path
Candidate Registration → Below Privacy Policy → Hierarchical Dropdown List
Steps to Configure a Hierarchical Dropdown
- Navigate to the Candidate Registration settings.
- Click on Edit button on top right side
- Add the required Hierarchical Dropdown List field.
- Click Download Sample Excel to download the template.
- Populate the template as per the required hierarchy.
- Upload the completed Excel file.
- Save the registration settings.
Excel Template Guidelines
When preparing the template, follow these guidelines:
| Requirement | Description |
|---|---|
| Two Columns per Level | For every hierarchy level, create two columns: LevelX and LevelX_Code (for example, Level1, Level1_Code, Level2, Level2_Code). |
| Level Codes | You may optionally assign custom alphanumeric codes (for example, IND, MH, KA) in the LevelX_Code columns. |
| Mapping Fallback | If the LevelX_Code column is left blank, the system maps the hierarchy using the text entered in the LevelX column. |
| Hierarchical Flow | Each row should represent a complete parent-to-child relationship. Do not leave blank cells between active hierarchy levels. |
Example
| Level1 | Level1_Code | Level2 | Level2_Code |
| India | IND | Maharashtra | MH |
| India | IND | Karnataka | KA |
In this example:
- India is the parent (Level 1).
- Maharashtra and Karnataka are child options (Level 2) that become available when India is selected.
Important Notes
- Download and use the provided Excel template to ensure the correct format.
- Maintain the parent-to-child hierarchy in each row.
- Custom level codes are optional but recommended for accurate mapping.
- If codes are not provided, the system uses the text values for mapping.
- Do not leave blank cells between configured hierarchy levels within a row.
