Activity Add & Manage — Onboard

New Activity Form Fields

Type: Breakdowns & granularly reports on various activity efforts. 7 default options that cannot be deleted, but new types can be added in account settings.

• Communication: Any activity that involves communication
  with the related record.
• Event: An activity that would be on the calendar.
• To-Do: An activity that could be seen as a checklist item (default).
• Email: To identify activities created through email & email to app functionality.

These next three are generally used for Recruiting, however, are available for onboarding to aid in the handoff between recruiting a candidate and onboarding the provider once hired.

• Interview: To identify a scheduled interview. (If selected, users can identify between onsite or virtual interview options.)
• Offer Response: Used to track when an offer is responded to by a candidate. (If selected, users can identify if the offer was accepted, declined, or rescinded.)
• Offer Sent: An activity to track when an offer is sent to a candidate.

Summary: Brief title of what the activity is. You can add more detailed information in the description field (toward the bottom).

Status: Indicates where the activity is in the completion cycle.

Scheduled: An activity that has been scheduled on the calendar, but no work has been done on it.

• In Progress: Activity that is being actively worked on.
• Completed: Any activity that is completely done. No further work is needed on this activity.
• On Hold: An activity that will be worked on later that has not been defined yet.
• Canceled: An activity that is no longer relevant or needed.
• Not Applicable: Usually applied to a templated activity, this status helps to identify an activity that is not relevant to a given provider within a flow.

Understanding Canceled and Not Applicable: Activities with these statuses will not show on the activity home page. They will not be considered as ‘completed’, ‘incomplete’ or ‘overdue’ in the activity roll-up cards. Canceled and Not Applicable activities will not be regarded as part of the completion totals for Providers in an Onboard Project, however, they will still be displayed in the activity list for reference.

Due Date: The date the activity needs to be completed.

Completed Date: The date the activity was completed. This field only appears if the status ‘Completed’ is chosen.

Start Time: The time that an activity starts. This field only appears if an activity type is chosen that is ‘On Calendar’.

End Time: The time that an activity ends. This field only appears if an activity type is chosen that is ‘On Calendar’.

Location: Free text field to indicate where an activity will occur or did occur if not at a related place profile.

Related Records: Person, place, workflow (practice opportunity). Click the blue ‘+’ next to the record type you want to add.

• Person & Place: Users can add multiple to each activity as well as more than one option in each record type.
• Related Project: Limited to 1 option.
• Project Group: Defined from the project template — relates the activity to a group, usually defined as a department.

For example, an activity can have 2 related people, 1 related place, and 1 related project.

Top Tip: Click the option to create an activity per record when creating an activity with multiple providers and tracking activities per profile. Alternatively, you will create one activity for both records which will tie the activity across both records — any changes made to one profile will apply to the other.

Assigned To: Person or people that are responsible for this activity.

Accompanied By: Person or people who accompanied the assigned user(s). This can be another user or person record.

Prerequisite Activity: Links to another activity that is required to be done before this activity can be completed. This is for informational purposes and to notify assigned users of this activity when the prerequisite is completed.

Tags: This is a custom field to help with delineating activities for reporting purposes. Be sure to add any relevant tags that need to be tracked before creating an activity. Tag options can be added in Account Settings.

Category: This is a custom field also used to sort activities for reporting purposes. Be sure to add any relevant categories that need to be tracked before creating an activity. Category options can be added in Account Settings.

Description: Use this field to describe in detail anything important to this activity. 

The details of an activity offer a review of information of the activity, allow users to add comments or view the history of actions against the activity. From here, linking out to the related records of the activity itself is possible.

From the activity details slide out users can also opt to mark the activity as complete, add an expense, or even include relevant files on the activity.

Note: The files guide explains how files and the security of files work for a person record, however, the same applies to activities.

Edit an Activity

Editing an activity can be started in two different ways:

1. From the view activity details panel, click the edit button at the bottom right corner of the form
2. From an activity list grid, select edit from the ellipses at the end of the line item

Click delete in the bottom right corner.

The system will ask if you are sure you want to delete an activity. Once an activity has been deleted it can’t be restored.
