HR Catalogs (Configuration → HR Catalogs) are the shared option lists used on employee profiles, timelines, compensation changes, and related HR forms.
Please note:
- You need
hr_catalogs.read(admins typically manage these lists).- BambooHR / data-migration imports can seed many catalogs — see Data migration.
- Prefer editing catalogs here instead of free-typing one-off values on profiles so reporting stays consistent.
- Open Configuration → HR Catalogs (Job Titles shown here)
- + Add Option for a new picklist value
- Edit, archive, or delete existing options used on profiles
Open catalogs
- Go to Configuration → HR Catalogs (
/dashboard/configurations/hr-catalogs) - Pick a catalog tab (Job Titles, Locations, Divisions, …)
- Add, rename, or deactivate options for that kind
