Module: HR Profile
Audience: HR staff, hiring coordinators, line managers
Version: 1.0.0
Last updated: 2026-07-22
Overview
Receiving staff (onboarding) is where you welcome new employees into HR processes: a configurable checklist, equipment allocation, and training assignment. Each employee moves through reception until their progress reaches 100%.
The sidebar menu may also show Onboarding template in some translations; the working screen is HR Profile → Receiving staff.
Prerequisites
- View list: Receiving staff → View (or View own to see only your team's receptions).
- Add receptions: Receiving staff → Create.
- Edit checklists and assets: Receiving staff → Edit.
- Delete receptions: Receiving staff → Delete.
- Configure default checklist: HR Profile → Settings → Reception staff tab (requires Settings access).
- The employee must already exist as an active staff login and must not already be on the reception list.
- For training assignment, the employee should have a job position on their HR record.
Step-by-step: Configure the onboarding template (one-time)
- Go to HR Profile → Settings.
- Open the Reception staff tab.
- Under Reception information, define checklist groups (titles) and sub-items (tasks). Use + / − to add or remove rows.
- Under Property allocation, list default equipment items (laptop, phone, etc.).
- Under Training, choose the default type of training used when adding new receptions.
- Save.
Expected result: New receptions will pre-fill from this template. Existing in-progress receptions are not changed.
Step-by-step: Start onboarding for an employee
- Go to HR Profile → Receiving staff.
- Click Add reception.
- Select the employee (only staff not already on the list appear).
- Review or adjust the checklist groups and tasks.
- Review or adjust property items to allocate.
- Choose type of training (if shown) and a training program (required).
- Click Submit.
Expected result: The employee appears in the reception list with progress at 0% (or partial if template items were already satisfied). If they have an email and job position, they may receive training links by email and in-app notification.
Step-by-step: Track and complete onboarding
- On the reception list, locate the employee.
- Open View from the row menu.
- In the side panel:
- Check off checklist items as each task is done.
- Mark property items when issued to the employee; add or remove assets as needed.
- Review training status and scores when a program was assigned.
- Close the panel; the list completion % updates automatically.
Expected result: Progress reaches 100% when all checklist groups, assets, training minimum score, and required profile fields (if configured) are complete.
Step-by-step: Remove an employee from onboarding
- On the reception list, open row options → Delete.
- Confirm.
Expected result: The reception record and related checklist, asset, and training allocation rows for that onboarding are removed. The staff login remains.
