Calibration Notes - Insert Table

Hi ​@Lisa Carr, 

1) Can formatting be expanded (e.g., support indented bullet points)?

• Today, formatting support in Calibration Notes is limited and can be inconsistent depending on how the template/notes are being populated (config-driven template vs. what a user types/pastes in the editor). 
• A common root cause for “formatting not showing” in the template is that the config uses newline characters (\n) instead of HTML breaks; Support’s guidance has been to replace \n with <br> in the Admin Console > Talent Acquisition > Calibration > calibration_notes_template configuration.
• For the broader request (like indented bullets / richer formatting), there are known limitations in the rendering templates. For example, in calibration share communications, the Notes content is rendered into a table cell with significant padding, which can create the appearance of indentation and limits layout control unless the template/CSS is changed.

Bottom line: I don’t have anything in these docs that indicates indented bullet support is currently available as a supported/native capability in Calibration Notes.
 

2) Can tables be added to the calibration notes section?

• I don’t see any documented confirmation in the materials here that tables are supported in Calibration Notes input/rendering.
• Related formatting limitations have come up before (e.g., certain rich-text styling like text color not being retained/supported), which suggests the system sanitizes or restricts parts of HTML/CSS in notes.

Bottom line: From what I have, I can’t confirm that tables are supported in Calibration Notes today; and given known restrictions on rich formatting, I’d treat tables as not reliably supported unless Engineering explicitly confirms for your environment. 
 

Practical guidance I’ve seen work (within current constraints)

• If you’re using a standard questions template, use explicit HTML line breaks (<br>) instead of relying on newlines.
• If the goal is a consistently formatted “guide,” customers sometimes keep formatting local to the widget/content itself via embedded HTML/CSS (vs. global styling), but that advice was specifically in the context of the community site HTML widgets, not Calibration Notes.

If you want, I can rewrite your standard questions into a “most compatible” format (plain text + <br> structure) that tends to render consistently in the notes section, but I can’t claim that will unlock indented bullets or tables without further product confirmation.

If non of these suggestions are helpful, I would suggest creating a product idea.
