Working with Career Activity Tracking

For associations that utilize a YM Careers Activity board, the YM career center solutions integration is a member acquisition tool that feeds constituent information to association staff whenever a non-member enrolls in the job board as a job seeker or a company posts job listing. This solution ensures you have visibility and recruitment access to the individual and company data right in Aptify AMS. You can then qualify person/company records and market your membership solutions to them in one central place.

The primary features of this integration are as follows:

• Automatically create new records for Resume, Job Applications, and Job Alert activity whenever a new job seeker enrolls or a company posts a new job posting.
• Data captured in YM Careers is added to respective Entities to help connect with and acquire new members.
• Imported activities are automatically segregated into respective Activity Entities and related Persons records by performing automated duplicate checks.

When you have set up YM Careers integration as per YM Career Activity Tracking Configuration, you must run Scheduled Tasks at the defined intervals to create or update activities in your Aptify system. Staff users can work with new activities records with respective status. Activities Source is populated with YM Careers on all records created from YM Careers so you can distinguish them from activity created by staff or other integrations.

   Records will have following status as given below:
   
   1. Open : This indicate that record is ready for process based on their Activity Type
   2. In-Progress :  While record get process to their respective entity it set to this status
   3. Completed :  Once the Retrieval process get completed and record save successfully to their respective entity
   4. Error : During the process if any exception occurred it set to this status and also error message will be show under Description filed of the respective record
      
2. Process Flow also checks for the duplicate record based on the Start Data, End Date, and Raw Data. If duplicate record found then it will not import and log the details in the log file along with any error if occurred any during the process.
3. Once all the activities get imported to the system, we need to process all the raw data into their respective entities. For this Run Career Activity Retrieval Process, which required the following parameters.
