    Article summary

    Autopilot Defaults can be setup in R365 Hire to create a more streamlined scheduling process. Autopilot Defaults allow Users to schedule interviews with a single click. 

    Autopilot Defaults are Autopilot Configurations for a particular Autopilot hiring step of a specific job. Once configured, they can be applied to all future applicants who apply for the job. Applying an Autopilot Default to an applicant means that the all interview scheduling details will be prefilled.

    Separate Autopilot Defaults must be configured for the different Hiring Steps for each job. Each Autopilot Default only applies to the Hiring Step of the specific Job.


    Security

    Only Admins and Full Access Users can create and edit Autopilot Defaults. 

    Users with Limited Access can toggle off an Autopilot Default and make changes to Autopilot before launching. However, they cannot change the default configuration itself. 


    Autopilot Defaults can be created when Autopilot for an Applicant.  To create an Autopilot Default, click the 'Begin Autopilot' button from the Applicants page once the Applicant has reached an Autopilot Hiring Step.
