We use this setting to define the starting and succeeding identification codes for Candidates and Jobs in the recruitment system. Establishing a clear numbering format helps in easily tracking and organizing recruitment data.
**Important Note:** This is a one-time configuration. Once set, the numbering will start from your defined starting code and continue automatically. The system will also auto-expand digits when needed (e.g., transitioning from 9999 to 10000).
**Auto Numbering – Code** includes configuration of the following Codes:
1. **Candidate**
2. **Job**
