Drag and Drop Functionality in the Applicant Management Tool Drag & drop functionality in the redesigned Applicant [Management ](https://www.lorenzo-datasolutions.com/sap-successfactors-training-in-hyderabad/) tool allows recruiters to move candidates across the recruiting pipeline efficiently while ensuring permissions and business rules are adhered to. The drag and drop functionality supports the following features: * Single applicant movement. * Multiple applicant movement (Bulk Action): If all applicants are in the same initial status, they are moved successfully with the required action or eligibility checks as for a single applicant. If applicants are in different statuses, the system handles partial success, requiring user actions for eligibility checks. * Permission check and eligibility: The system checks permissions for each move action to ensure the recruiting user is authorized to perform the move. Eligibility checks are performed to ensure applicants can be moved to the desired status. * User feedback and error handling: If a user lacks permission or if there are eligibility issues, the system provides feedback explaining why the action cannot be completed. Dependencies on intermediate statuses are clearly communicated to the user.⌊First screen shows two candidates dragged and dropped to the 'Screen' status.

On clicking Move, it navigates to the third screen confirming both candidates have been moved to the Background Check Request status.⌉ This enhancement improves user experience by reintroducing a familiar interaction pattern from the legacy system, ensuring efficient candidate management while adhering to permissions and business rules. ### Technical Details | **Reference Number** | **RCM-142510** | | Product | Recruiting | | Module | Applicant Management | | Feature | Applicant Management | | Action | Info only | | Enablement | Automatically on | | Lifecycle | General Availability | | Type | Changed | | Major or Minor | Major | | Software Version | 1H 2025 | ## 3.
