Page Location: Admin > Links > Custom Links
The Custom Links menu item of Admin > Links allows Users the ability to embed shortcut links in Cyber Recruiter to other pages other websites, and/or documents as necessary. For example, perhaps it would be helpful to Users to have shortcuts on the Home Page that give quick access to activities they perform often, like creating a new requisition from scratch.

This field contains the actual URL that is needed to make this link work. (Note: If the link is being set up for a website not in Cyber Recruiter, say for a job board like Monster, the link needs to be in full format, i.e. http://www.monster.com.) |

Custom Variables
Variables can be used to look up values regarding a user, requisition or applicant in reference to a page. For example,
[GUID] - Looks up the GUID value in the user file. Add it to the end of a URL to send the GUID value over and automatically log the person into the system. If you use Cyber Train and Cyber Recruiter, you can add the GUID for your users into both systems. Then, add the path to Cyber Train in as a custom link, then add ?suid=[GUID]. Accessing the link as a user who is in both systems will path the user to the Cyber Train system and log him in automatically.
[Applnum] - Looks up the unique identification of an applicant. Add ?applnum=[Applnum] to the end of a page/URL that is part of Cyber Recruiter to look up the data specific for that person. For example, to access a page which allows you to hire a person from inside the applicant's page instead of from the Applicants menu (see image above for syntax).
[Req] - Looks up the unique identification of the requisition. Add ?req=[Req] to the end of a page/URL that is part of Cyber Recruiter to look up the data specific for that position.
