Adding and Managing Jobs (Standard Feature)

Adding and Managing Jobs (Standard Feature)

The Jobs feature is a standard module included in the Foxbright CMS. There is a more robust 'Job Boards' add-on module available should an organization need an advanced method for posting job opportunities containing more information. Job Boards support guest accounts to submit job posts which can then run through an approval process with Job Board Administrators. Please see Job Boards documentation or contact support@foxbright.com for more information.
Jobs is a simple way to display current job posts on a website. Jobs are assigned on a per-building basis and divided into categories so that distinctions can be made between jobs for different segments of the organization. The jobs module provides a uniform and method to display job postings without having to worry about formatting. The module ensures listings are up to date by incorporating publish and expiration dates.

Adding Job Categories

A Job Category selection is required for each job post. New categories don't need to be added with each new job post if an organization has already setup adequate categories.
  1. Click the Jobs tab from the admin panel to navigate to the Jobs list.
  2. Click Job Categories button to navigate to the Job Categories list.
  3. Click the Add Job Category button.

  4. In the Name field, type in the name of the new category. An optional description can be added for internal purposes.
  5. Click Save.

Reordering Job Categories

The sort order of Job Categories determines the order job posts are displayed on a page.
  1. Click the Sort button from the Job Categories list. 
  2. Click and drag the job category titles to the order they should be displayed.
  3. Click Save.

Adding jobs


  1. Click the Jobs option in the sidebar to navigate to the Jobs list and click the Add Job button. Alternatively, click the (+) button that appears when hovering over the Jobs option to go directly to the Add Job form. 
  2. Give the Job a Name reflecting the position being hired for. This name becomes the link text for the uploaded job information file/link.
  3. Select the Job Category.  If the needed job category is not listed in the drop down list, refer to the Adding Job Categories section.
  4. Select the Building where the job will be offered.
    5. If an applicable building is not listed in this drop-down list, contact a Web Administrator. Buildings are managed in the configuration menu. 
  5. Type in or select the Publish Date that the position should first appear on the job postings page.
  6. Type in or select the Expiration Date that the position will close and automatically be removed from the job postings page.
    7. There is no option to set a Job to display 'until filled'. For Jobs without an expiration, it is recommended to extend the Expiration Date a reasonable time in the future and add (Until Filled) to the Job name. Jobs can be edited and extended as-needed.
  7. Select whether the job is Part Time or Full Time. The selection will be displayed with the job post.
  8. In the information section, click the Select New File button to upload the job description for this position, or add a link to the external job post. This is required as it is where the potential applicant will read the details about the job.
  9. Click Save button.
Newly created jobs are immediately added to any Job blocks published on the website.

Editing Jobs
