Increase number of entries in the Employment History in Fast Track
Our district is in great need of having the number of entries in the Employment History in the Fast Trak application open to additional entries as needed by the applicant. Currently, there are only four entries possible, and this forces applicants to decide which four, of the many they may have, to post for the position application. Additionally, this forces the use of an external form that can be difficult for the applicant to locate. Although a field is designated in the Attachments area, there is no guarantee the applicant will upload the needed document as opposed to any document to meet the field requirement.

We recommend this alternative solution:
(1) Add a new attachment for “Full Employment History” [WH\AD\FT\PP\PS\CO\AD]
(2) Add it to the necessary attachment lists used in job listings. Note it will automagically alert all of the current applicants that they need to update their open applications [ WH\AD\FT\PP\PS\CO\AL]
(3) To avoid confusion (optional), turn off the normal Employment History in the affected job listings [WH\AD\FT\PP\PB]
(4) Other Skyward districts have done something similar. They’ve added a Fast Track Config with attachments where they link attachments through JavaScript [WH\AD\FT\MC\PS\CF\DM]
(5) So that required attachments display at the footer for every applicant (If a district wants a specific Full Employment History Template, they could provide one to their applicants here).
(6) An additional benefit to setting up Fast Track this way is that if attachments are used for employment history, that gets moved over to profile from Fast Track. Be sure to set up the same attachment type in both locations. By setting up their Fast Track in this way, applicants will be able to submit their full employment history via an attachment and they still need to check the box saying they’ve completed everything to the best of their ability.
(7) These updates to Fast Track can be started at any time.
