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.
