additional functionality in the dashboard

Hi @exingin,

Let me see if I understand you correctly. By “vacancies”, do you mean a job listing that’s currently open (i.e., currently accepting job applications, since there is a vacancy)?

If so, there are several ways to categorize and filter job listings.

Pre-select filters on a Job dashboard

You can create custom URLs that link directly to your jobs page (the page containing the [jobs] shortcode), with specific filters already selected. You can preselect keywords, location, categories, and job types.

For example, if your jobs page is at http://yoursite/jobs/ and you want to create a link that will preselect the ‘Medical’ category, you can use the following:

http://yoursite/jobs/?search_category=medical

(Where ‘medical’ is the category slug.)

You can also use:

• search_keyword
• search_location
• search_job_type

To preselect those filters. You can even combine them using &. For example:

http://yoursite/jobs/?search_category=medical&search_job_type=permanent

And you can select multiple job types and/or categories (if you have enabled category multiple selection in settings) by comma separating them, for example:

http://yoursite/jobs/?search_category=medical,surgical&search_job_type=permanent,temporary

You can find the above instructions in the documentation as well:

You can configure Job Types, Categories, and Location display settings in Job Listings Settings, as noted in our documentation:

https://wpjobmanager.com/document/setting-up-wp-job-manager/

You can add Job Categories and Job Types under WP-admin > Job Listings > Job Categories or Job Types.

I hope that helps! Let us know if you have any other questions.

Hi @exingin –

Sorry for the confusion here.

The Job Dashboard page doesn’t support this functionality by default. However, you may be able to do this by overriding the default job-dashboard.php template

Here’s a general tutorial:

Additionally, the Template Tags may come in handy:

That said, we aren’t able to actually write the code for you. You may want to look into one of these services if you need help:

I hope that helps point you in the right direction.
