.Attachments v1.5
What are Attachments?
Attachments are a type of Content that any Administrative User will be able to add to the system. Attachments are used to add documents to the system that can either be viewed or downloaded by a user during their onboarding process.
They are often PDF documents or Pictures (PNG, JPEG) files that can be used as a supporting information.
Where do we use this feature?
Used With | Notes | Example | Can look like this |
---|---|---|---|
Smart Forms | These are policies or forms that appear in the New Hire's process flow. Usually they host text and or data entry fields. Attachments can be liked with these Forms or Policy documents as additional supporting material. | Employee Handbook There can be an activity with an acknowledgement text, expecting the New Hire to electronically acknowledge reading the handbook and of course abiding by it. Now the actual Employee Handbook is going to be 60-100 pages, so it can be attached (PDF) to this policy. | |
These are used when we wish to present a list of things/reminders/To-do tasks. Attachments can be a part of one (or all) task items in a checklist to provide additional information. | For example, a New Hire might have an activity that presents a Day-1 Checklist - a list of things they must be aware of or a list of tasks they must do on the Day-1. One task might be "Use this temporary parking permit and park only on the designated spot". A parking permit and a parking map can be attached to this task, so they can be downloaded by the New Hire. |
Why do we need to modify Attachments?
Attachments may need to be modified if a new version of the document has become available, or changes have been made to a policy or benefit, for example.
