Things to Learn From This Sample- The biggest takeaway is that Data Explorer can automatically help fill in missing information, without the need for you to spend time and energy planning.
- Requisition was deemed the most popular "root" item, so the Reporting Tool placed it at the top and it became the From portion of the report query.
- The Requisition object uses this chain to display the recruiter's email address.
- Regardless of how the Reporting Tool builds the report, User will remain linked to Requisition via the chain we built earlier.
- The column containing the candidate's status is in a chain that begins with Candidate.
- The data dictionary correctly identified a common relation between Requisition and Candidate and completes that chain by appending the column's chain to Requisition, which means this column's full chain is now Requisition » Candidate » Job Seeker Status.
- Our Referral Source column's chain begins with Job Seeker Resume.
- The Reporting Tool identifies a relation between Resume and Candidate and appends this column's chain, giving this new column a chain of Requisition » Candidate » Job Seeker Resume » Referral Source ID.
