Some time ago, we introduced the new feature job list. With this, you can easily create lists of job postings yourself.

We use new technologies for this. The job lists that we previously created for you no longer meet the latest technology standards. Therefore, your old job lists need to be replaced with new ones.

Why replace the job lists? Benefits of the new job list

• Autonomy for you: The new version allows you to make adjustments independently. This saves you time and you no longer need to use paid support services to maintain old job lists.
• Increased security: The new job list uses current technologies, eliminating potential security risks of older versions.
• More efficient maintenance: The new job list enables us to simplify troubleshooting, allowing us to resolve your support requests more quickly.
• Future-oriented development: The transition makes it easier for us to implement future updates, keeping your job list up to date at all times.

How to recognize if you are using an outdated job list?

There are two points in the system where you can see if you are using job lists with the old technology.

• Usage statistics
  In the menu item Job list there is the tab Usage statistics.
  If the status is "outdated", the URL/website needs a new job list.
  Note
  Data only appears in the usage statistics after the website has been accessed at least once since July 25, 2024 (release date).
  You will always be informed about outdated code via the application portal (see next point). 
• Application portals
  If you press the name of an application portal in the menu item Application portals, you will be informed with a notice at the top of the page.

Convert an Existing Old Job List into a New Job List

Advantage: Data from the old job list will be transferred to the new list.

Proceed as follows:

1. Open the pageJob Lists. The page with the tab Job Lists open will display.
2. Click on the tab Usage Statistics.
3. In the row of a job list marked as outdated, click the + icon. This will transfer the data from the old job list to the new job list as accurately as possible.
4. Adjust the job list as needed to meet your requirements and save it.
