When this parameter is checked, the current job exports (through Job Inquiry or transaction exports) will have the remote job information fields at the very end of the existing fields. When the Remote job creation feature is selected, it is mandatory to select the Location Type (Non-Remote, Remote, or Partly Remote) during job creation. Employee/Admin will need to specify the Remote login instructions if the job is remote/partly remote, and Days Remote (which days/dates) if the job is partly remote. This feature is available on the web for both Basic and Advanced job creation. This feature is applicable during vacancy creation as well. Similarly on the IVR during job creation, the location type, remote login instructions, and days remote (whichever are applicable) need to be voiced.
