# 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.

## Bulk Discipline Update

You may at some point have a need to reassign candidates and jobs from one discipline to another.&#x20;

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.&#x20;

Press the![](https://1771634726-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F4iyyoX6EJroqwfH056WE%2Fuploads%2F06n1B3MY5kRIed6I6hCU%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=49453bb1-e421-4eee-b516-87008c049c97)button to show the bulk update dialog.
