Adding a Field for "Position Applied For" in TypingTest Pro

Introduction: TypingTest Pro offers a versatile platform for conducting typing tests, and we understand that many organizations have diverse job positions for which applicants take the test. To address the issue of not knowing which position an applicant has applied for, you can add a "Position Applied For" field to your typing test. This article will guide you through the steps to configure your test and collect this crucial information.

Step 1: Accessing the Admin Dashboard

1. Log in to your TypingTest Pro admin account.
2. Once logged in, you will be directed to the admin dashboard, which allows you to manage and customize your typing tests.

Step 2: Creating a New Test or Editing an Existing One

• You have two options for associating a "Position Applied For" field with your tests: creating separate tests for each position or configuring a single test with a text field.

Option 1: Creating Separate Tests for Different Positions

1. Click on the "Create New Test" button to make individual tests for each job position.
2. Customize each test by naming it according to the job position (e.g., "Data Entry Clerk," "Customer Service Representative").
3. Create as many unique tests as you need, ensuring each is tailored to a specific position.

TIP: You can also activate a professional landing page using the custom domain feature in the admin panel. This landing page will allow you to showcase all your active tests in one place, making it convenient for applicants to find the right test and further enhancing your organization's recruitment process. You may want to use e.g. "lawofficexyz.typingtest.com" as your custom domain.

Option 2: Configuring a Single Test with a "Position Applied For" Field

1. Select an existing test that you want to edit or create a new test.
2. Go to the "Test Configuration" or "Settings" section of the test.
3. Add a "Position Applied For" text field to the test. This is typically done by creating a custom input field within the test configuration. You can use the "Custom Fields"
4. Write to the Welcome page text field that this information is mandatory, so applicants know they are required to provide their position.

Step 3: Collecting Position Information

• In both options, applicants will now be prompted to enter the position they are applying for when taking the test.

Step 4: Viewing Results

• When reviewing test results, you will see the "Position Applied For" data alongside the typing test scores.

Best Practices:

1. Clearly communicate to applicants that they need to provide their applied position when taking the test.
2. Ensure that the "Position Applied For" field is user-friendly and easy to find during the test-taking process.
3. Regularly update your tests and their configurations to align with the positions available within your organization.

By following these steps and best practices, you can effectively address the issue of not knowing which position a test taker has applied for when reviewing the TypingTest Pro results. This enhancement will help streamline your recruitment process and provide valuable insights into the applicants' qualifications.
