Managing Onboardings

This content applies solely to Connected Onboarding, which must be purchased separately from the Appian base platform. This content was written for Appian 23.3 and may not reflect the interfaces or functionality of other Appian versions.

Introduction

After you have created a new onboarding, you will need to manage your onboarding by viewing, maintaining, and updating that information.

Viewing onboardings

There are two main pages that show a list of onboardings, the HOME page and the ONBOARDINGS page.

On the HOME page, the Active Onboardings section displays a list of open onboardings assigned to the user by default but can be filtered to show all onboardings. See Home Page Overview for more information about the information available on the Connected Onboarding Home page.

Clicking ONBOARDINGS displays a list of onboarding records. This view is intended to show all onboardings. You can search the list, as well as filter it by Status, Type, and Estimated Funding Date.

On both lists, clicking an Onboarding name displays the record for that onboarding. The record displays all of the pertinent information for a particular onboarding. This information is split into several different tabs, which are outlined in the following sections.

Summary tab

The Summary tab lists the important information about an onboarding.

The following onboarding information is listed on this page:

  • Status
    • Onboarding Status
      • Onboardings at risk of missing their estimated funding date will have an at risk icon displayed.
    • Task Progress (how many completed compared to how many pending).
  • Tasks - A list of the open tasks displays in the center of the page. You can filter the list, bulk select tasks to perform actions on them, and open tasks to complete them.
  • Onboarding Details - This section lists the specifics of the onboarding, such as type, description and start date.
  • Customer Details - This section lists the specifics of the onboarding customer including any open flags.
  • Products - This section shows any products associated with this onboarding record and indicates if the products have accounts associated.
  • Funding Details - This section lists the funding specifics of the onboarding including funding date and funding value. If the status of the onboarding is funded, this box will show the actual funding details instead of the estimated.
  • Required Documents - If the onboarding has documents that are required, they display in this section. A status icon shows if they are missing, pending review, approved or rejected. The user can complete upload and review tasks directly from this section.

Documents tab

The Documents tab lists all of the documents related to an onboarding. You can see the status of your attached documents.

The possible statuses for a document are:

  • Approved: the document has been reviewed and approved. The document requirement has been fulfilled.
  • Rejected: the document was reviewed and rejected. The document requirement is still outstanding.
  • Pending review: the document has been uploaded, the document type has been verified by IDP, and has yet to be reviewed by a user.
  • Awaiting classification: the document has been uploaded and is awaiting IDP to verify the document type.
  • Pending reconciliation: the document was uploaded and IDP could not verify the document type.
  • Missing: the document has not been uploaded.
  • Secondary: the document is not a required document type and therefore, did not go through review and approval process.

IDP specific statuses:

  • Awaiting Classification: A document is waiting to be classified by IDP.
    • Note: this is the default status when documents are uploaded and IDP is enabled.
  • Pending Reconciliation: A document has been not been classified by IDP or the type confidence is below the confidence level threshold.
    • Note: this status can be updated manually by a user and is only available when IDP is enabled.

You can learn more about updating a document's status on the Managing Documents page.

On this page you can:

  • Attach a document.
  • Search for a particular document by name.
  • Filter by document type.
  • Preview uploaded documents.
    • Click the document link to preview uploaded documents, view details about them, and update their status.
  • Download uploaded documents.

When you click a document's name in the document list, a preview of that document displays and shows:

  • Document type.
  • Type confidence.
    • NOTE: this field will only be displayed when Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) is enabled.
  • Status of the document.
  • When the document was uploaded and who uploaded it.
  • When the document was last modified and who modified it.
  • When the document expires.
  • A description of the document.

You can also download the document from this page.

Additionally, you can update the document's details, including the Document Type, Status, Expiration Date, and Description. You can learn more about updating a document's details on the Managing Documents page. Updated document details will display in the document list or the document details page.

Updating an onboarding

Onboardings are updated throughout the onboarding process by users completing tasks. These updates can usually be made through the task itself. However, there are also various ways to update an onboarding from the onboarding record. These include:

You can also add custom tasks and update documents.

The actions related to updating an onboarding are controlled by business and security groups. Because of this, not all users will see the same related actions. See Actions users can perform based on their group membership on the Groups Reference Page for an explanation of which groups control access to these actions.

Onboarding status lifecycle

An onboarding goes through several statuses throughout its lifecycle, defined by certain events.

The events and statuses are:

  • After an onboarding is created, the status updates to Pending Process Setup.
  • After the Process Setup task is complete, the status updates to Active.
  • After the Funding details are entered, the status updates to Funded.
  • If a user completes the Canceled related action, the status updates to Canceled.
  • After a user completes the Complete relation action, the status updates to Complete.

Updating onboarding details

For Pending Process Setup, Active, and Funded onboardings, the information that was entered when the onboarding was created can be updated at any time.

To update the onboarding details:

  • On the Summary tab, click UPDATE ONBOARDING

After selecting the action, the onboarding details display. All of the same validations for creating an onboarding apply when updating an onboarding. You will not be able to change the type of onboarding upon clicking update.

To cancel the update, click CANCEL.

Updating funding details

For open onboardings, you can adjust the funding details to ensure the accuracy of the onboarding as it changes.

If an onboarding is open, changes made affect the onboarding's estimated funding details. If the onboarding is already funded, changes made affect the onboarding's actual funding details. If any non-completed tasks have due dates with SLAs that rely on either the actual or estimated funding date, the due dates will recalculate based on the new date.

You can keep track of these details by looking at the Funding Details section of the onboarding summary page.
