PeopleMatter: Administrators: How do I Configure Manager Tasks in Onboarding? (default tasks) (video)

Overview

Under Features & Add-Ons, the Onboarding section allows the Administrator to configure Employee and Manager Onboarding Tasks to meet the organization's needs.  

As it relates to Manager Tasks, Administrators can define and require tasks to be completed before information is pushed to third-party systems integrated with your account which helps drastically reduce error rates and incomplete data. 

Access Onboarding

• To access Onboarding go to Settings
• Select your Organization > Under 'Features & Add-Ons' select Onboarding
