Overview

What is Smart Onboarding?

Smart Onboarding is a software solution that directs new hires to an online pre-boarding and onboarding process that allows them to enter employee information, payroll, compliance requirements, organization information such as policies, benefits, regulation-specific requirements, as well as completing any other tasks or content which you wish to present. The software is highly configurable, allowing the solution to accommodate the specific onboarding needs of your organization.

What are HR attributes?

Attributes are basic data elements in the Smart Onboarding system. The values of attributes are used to control access within the system, and can be shown on pages and in emails generated in the system. You can also define your own attributes that can be used for these purposes. If Smart Onboarding interfaces to your HR system, the HR attribute values are what are passed to the HR system.

What are revisions?

Revisions are used to modify content and processing in the Smart Onboarding system. The system is delivered with a small set of activities in place, as well as a number of activities that have content pre-defined, but are not yet active. You can use revisions to modify the pre-defined content, add new content, and add activities to the onboarding process.
