What is My Tasks?

My Tasks is a page that shows the Business User what needs to be done for their role, or even specifically only for them. These tasks vary depending on the user role and where the New Hire is in their onboarding process. The tasks' timing to appear in this console is dependent on the timeliness of the person doing the tasks before them. The first task will appear on an HR Specialist's My Tasks page, after a New Hire has finished their pre-screening activities (only if 'Hold for PreScreen Processing?' is selected as "Yes" in the New Hire invitation). In other case ( if 'Hold for PreScreen Processing?' is selected as "No" in the New Hire invitation), the first task will appear on HR Specialist's My Tasks page after New Hire has completed their onboarding activities.

There can be multiple tasks from a New Hire at the same time, but only appear if they are independent of each other in the step. When the activities are sequentially dependent, only the first activity will appear in the My Tasks list. In the onboarding process page, the dependent activities have locks next to them. Although there may be multiple tasks from a New Hire at the same time, they can be completed all in the onboarding process page. If you leave the onboarding page, you can always come back to My Tasks page to access the activities that are not completed.

What are the contents of My Tasks console?

The My Tasks console page comprises several key sections, including the Search Filter, Quick Filter, the "Export to Excel" option and search results displaying the pending activities related to New Hire invitations specific to user's assigned role. The data displayed within the console adheres to the user's security settings established by the System Administrator. Consequently, users will only have visibility to the data for which they have been granted access. For instance, if a user's access is restricted to "Research" Company data, they will exclusively view information associated with that particular company within the console. 

Furthermore, the availability of the "Export to Excel" button is dependent upon the configuration of the logged-in user's role. Specifically, this button becomes visible if the user's role has been enabled for data export capabilities. Alternatively, if the user holds multiple roles, access to this button requires at least one of the roles to have export functionality configured.

Furthermore, the availability of the "Export to Excel" button is dependent upon the configuration of the logged-in user's role. Specifically, the button becomes visible if the user's role has been enabled for data export capabilities. Users with multiple roles will have access to the data export feature in their My Tasks as long as they hold at least one of the roles: HR Specialist, I-9 Specialist, or E-Verify Specialist, and if any of these roles is configured with such capabilities.

Note: In this example, since the user holds multiple roles (HR Specialist, I-9 Specialist, and E-Verify Specialist), the My Tasks console is showing invitations with pending activities that belong to each of these roles.
