Setting up the People: Education extension

This guide shows you how to switch on the People: Education extension so you can record academic history for employees and candidates. For what the extension does and why you'd use it, see People: Education extension: structured education history for people.

Install and enable

  1. Go to Settings → Marketplace Extensions.
  2. Find the People: Education card (search for "education" if it's quicker), and click it to review the details and required permissions.
  3. Click Install to add it to your system.
  4. Click Enable to switch it on. There are no settings to fill in, so it activates immediately.

Settings

There's nothing to configure — once enabled, an education history section appears on each employee and candidate profile, ready to use. You'll find the People area under Settings → People (platform/settings/people) if you want to confirm the extension is active.

Using it day to day

Open any employee or candidate in the People area and you'll see their education history. From there you can:

  • Add an education record with the institution, degree type, field of study, and start and end dates.
  • Build up a candidate's academic background while you're assessing them for a role.
  • When you hire a candidate, their education history transfers automatically to the new employee profile.

Tip: fill in the field of study, not just the degree type — it makes searching for the right background across your people far easier later on.
