Look at What We've Done

Let's revisit the Positions tab to take a look at what we've just done.

1. Click the Positions tab.
2. Click New.

Our Days Open formula field doesn't show up on our Position edit page—that's because it's a formula field and doesn't require any user input to display. However, we can see that our Open Date and Hire By fields already have default values: Open Date should be today's date, and Hire By is 90 days later. We can change these values if we want, or we can just leave them as they are.

In order to see our Days Open field, we'll have to define our first position record. Let's do that now.

3. Enter any values you want to define for a new position. At the very least, you must enter a value for the required Position Title field.
4. Click Save.

The new position is now displayed in its own record detail page. At the bottom of the page, notice our Days Open formula field, just above the Created By field. It should show 0, since we just created the position. If you want to see the value change, edit the record and set the Open Date to a week earlier. Isn't that neat?
