Postcode Distance Configuration

The postcode location data will be kept up to date by the Static Data Download facility of IQXHub. Ensure that you have a hub configured to do this.

In the VACANCY SEARCHRESULT view, add a custom column of Data Type 'Number' with Descriptor

round(DistanceBetweenPostCodes(Person.PostCode,:Q_SitePostCodeForMap,'Mi'),1)

Set the Database Function: Vacancy Shift Matcher Numeric Custom Column to

( in @PersonID char(20),in @VacancyID char(20) ) 
returns double
begin
  declare rv double;
  set rv = DistanceBetweenPostCodes(
    (select Person.PostCode from Person where Person.PersonID = @PersonID),
    (select isnull(vacancy.postcode,company.postcode) from Vacancy key join Employment key join Company where Vacancy.VacancyID = @VacancyID),'Mi');
  if rv < 1 then
    return round(rv,1)
  else 
    return round(rv,0)
  end if
end

Set the General Setting 'Caption for Shift Matcher Custom Column' to 'Distance'.

This SQL will add 'Radius from Postcode' to candidate searchable criteria, and 'Radius from Vacancy' to vacancy requirements searchable criteria.
