Onboarding

Onboarding is a versioned program builder and tracker. Programs contain stages that run in order or in parallel, and tasks for the new person or for staff, with dependencies and approvals. Assign a published program to an approved applicant, a member, a whole role, or an email address. Each person stays pinned to the version they started.

Common questions

Answers before you get stuck

Why doesn’t an assigned person see a task I just added?

People are pinned to the version they were assigned. Publish a new version for future assignments.
