# Candidate Discipline List
Each candidate profile must have at least one discipline assigned, for example **Plumber** or **Electrician**. Your temp and perm job profiles also require a discipline to be assigned.
When creating or updating a candidate profile, the assigned discipline must be selected from the list of disciplines available in this list.
Navigate to **Admin->Settings** then select the **Lists** Tab.
{% hint style="warning" %}
The Admin Area is only accessible if your user account has been granted the Administrator permission.

## Delete Discipline
Press theicon to delete a discipline from the list. You will notice theicon is only available when the candidate total is zero.
{% hint style="info" %}
It is not possible to delete a discipline when there are candidates or jobs that have the discipline assigned.
{% endhint %}
## Bulk Discipline Update
You may at some point have a need to reassign candidates and jobs from one discipline to another.
For example, you may have two very similar disciplines like **Bricklayer** and **Brick Layer.** You may want to reassign all candidates and jobs with **Brick Layer** to **Bricklayer** so that you can delete **Brick Layer**.
If the disciplines have been assigned to many candidates and jobs, it would be a long and monotonous task to update each profile individually. For this reason we have created the bulk update utility.
Press thebutton to show the bulk update dialog.
Discipline Bulk Update Dialog
First, select the **From Discipline** and the **To Discipline**, then press thebutton.
You will need to confirm that you are sure before the process begins..
{% hint style="danger" %}
**Use With Caution**
Bulk updates are are not reversible. It is your responsibility to ensure you do this correctly. Please get in touch if you need any assistance using this utility.
