Sending Onboarding Documents Using Apploi Onboard
You’ve found a great new employee, so what’s next? Send them their onboarding documents!
Once you are in the applicant’s profile, click “Transition to Employee”, located directly under the “Actions” menu:
A pop-up window will appear, prompting you to select the following:
Job Title: Which job the employee will be performing.
Role: The employee’s role at your location. It’s important to note that despite their job title, if they hold one of the licenses available under that selection, you will need to choose the correct role in order to complete the correct license verification process (i.e. if this person is the Director of Nursing, please choose RN). See more by visiting our In App Credentialing Help Center Article. If the appropriate role is not available, choose the next best option. You can edit the employee once they have been added to the Onboard platform. See Employee Profile for more information on how to edit an employee’s profile, including role update.
Onboarding Documents: Select which onboarding document(s) you would like this employee to complete.
If you need to edit or add additional documents, please reach out to your Customer Success Manager or our Customer Support team.
Once you click confirm, the Employee Created confirmation box will appear. You will now be able to manage this person in the employee database. The Applicant's status will also update to "Hired".
You can view the employee’s profile by clicking “Visit Employee Profile” from the confirmation pop up:
You can also view that employee’s profile by clicking on “Employee Created” under "Actions" in the Applicant’s profile:
It is important to note that this person will have a record in both the Applicant and Employee portals and will be managed separately.
Accessing Apploi Onboard
Users with either Super Admin or Admin access are able to access the employee portal by clicking “Employees” from the navigation bar on the left hand side.
Once you access the Employee portal, you will see a header with 4 different options:
1. Workforce Dashboard
You are automatically taken to the Workforce Dashboard after clicking the “Employees” tab. This dashboard is broken down into three parts:
Workforce at a Glance
This dashboard will give you an overview of all your employees in the system. The first section shows both the percentage and total number of employees who are up to date with their account.
The second section will alert you to employees that have Missing, Expired or Invalid Documents, Credentials to Review, Documents Expiring Soon, and employees who have up to date Documents.
Employee Alerts
This section allows you to alert employees who have Missing, Expired or Invalid Documents, as well as Documents Expiring and employees with invalid credentials
Each section will start with the title of the alert and an option to send reminders in bulk.
The following information will be displayed below that section from left to right: each individual’s name, what documents they are missing or have expired, and the team they belong to.
If the employee is missing one document, the name of that document will be displayed in that section:
If the employee is missing more than one document, it will list the number of documents:
To view the full list of the documents missing for that employee, simply click their name to be taken to the employee’s profile. Here you are able to see all missing documents, easily identifiable with the red X icons in the Documentation tab of the profile. Please view the Documentation section for more information.
Sending Reminders
For each section of alerts, you have the option to send either bulk or individual reminders. To send bulk reminders, click “Send Reminder” in the specific alert section:
To send an individual reminder, click on the envelope icon next to that person’s name:
When you click to send a reminder in bulk or individually, a pop-up window will appear to format your message to employees:
You can choose to send the reminder messages out via Text or Email.
Feel free to customize the messages to employees however you like, but ensure you keep the merge fields provided, like *|document_missing|* in the above example. This will list out the missing or expired documents. If you would like to add a clickable link for employees to access their missing or expired documents, please select the *|document_link|* merge field from the "Insert Merge Field":
If you send reminders in bulk, you have the option to choose which employees should receive that reminder. Click on the dropdown next in the “To” section and deselect those individuals you do not want to receive the notification. By default, all employees are automatically checked to receive notification.

This section shows your last 5 employees entered through either the "Transition to Employee” feature on the Applicant Profile or the "+ Add Employee” in the header of the Employee platform.
