Using the OffBoarding Pages

The OffBoarding feature uses the PeopleSoft Fluid User Interface to provide employees and OffBoarding participants with a comprehensive list of tasks that should be completed as part of the OffBoarding process. OffBoarding takes advantage of existing pages in the system and gives employees and contingent workers access to these pages and tasks from one location instead of accessing several components separately.

This topic discusses pages specific to the OffBoarding process. Information regarding those pages specific to a product or business process are documented elsewhere and are accessible through the links provided here:

The Activity Guide Composer frameworks lets you define OffBoarding templates that can be instantiated to perform steps pointing to OffBoarding specific tasks.

Activity guides display application steps in either the left panel or across the top of the page as part of the guided process.

The PeopleSoft HCM application does not deliver a standard OffBoarding tile but does provide you with various means to access the OffBoarding pages. The system enables:

  • Administrators the flexibility to create and publish own tiles using the Activity Guide Composer Framework.

  • OffBoarding participants to view and manage activity guide processes using the My Processes Page.

  • Participants to access the activity guide via the Notifications links.

For more information on publishing OffBoarding tiles and managing activity guide processes, see the Deploying and Managing Activity Guide Processes documentation.

Using an OffBoarding Tile

The AG Composer Tiles Page enables administrators to create custom tiles to grant assignees easy access to an activity guide.

This example illustrates a custom tile created using the AG Composer Tiles page.

Example of a custom OffBoarding tile

When you select the tile, the system displays the OffBoarding - Review Activity Guide Page, where you can review the status of and access a specific OffBoarding process.

If all the steps are completed, the activity guide process will be complete and the tile number count will reduce by one.

Using the My Processes Page to Access the OffBoarding Pages

Participants can also navigate to Enterprise Components > Activity Guide Composer > My Processes to access the OffBoarding pages.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the My Processes page.

My Processes page

The My Processes (AGC_MYAG_DETAIL_FL) page functions the same as the OffBoarding - Review Activity Guide Page. View your progression or click the continue arrow (>) button to access this activity guide process instance and view or complete the activity guide.

For more detailed information, see the My Processes Page documentation.

Notifications

The Notifications panel alerts participants of OffBoarding tasks that require their attention and provides a link to open the activity guide.

Use the OffBoarding - Review Activity Guide page (AGC_REVIEW_AG_FL) to launch the OffBoarding activity guide.

Navigation:

Access the homepage to which the custom OffBoarding activity guide tile was published, then select the tile.

This example illustrates a sample of the OffBoarding - Review Activity Guide page.

OffBoarding - Review Activity Guide page

This page enables you to view your in-progress activity guides. The page will display the number of steps you have to complete and how many you have completed (answered the questions or marked the status as complete). It will not show you how many steps other participants will need to complete.

If all the steps are completed, the in-progress activity guide instance will no longer display on this page and the tile count number will be reduced by one.

Click the continue arrow (>) button to access this activity guide process instance and view or complete the activity guide.

The Activity Guide Composer frameworks lets you define OffBoarding templates that can be instantiated to perform steps pointing to OffBoarding specific tasks.

Activity guides display application steps in either the left panel or across the top of the page as part of the guided process. A corresponding page to the current step you have selected appears in the main panel. They also provide navigation buttons in the page banner for navigating through the steps.

Step List Format

The delivered OffBoarding templates are set up using the Vertical Non Sequential activity guide type. Therefore, this topic will discuss the layout of the delivered templates.

On a small form factor such as phone, the panel is initially hidden. Click the Item/Sub-Item Section tab to expand and view the steps and navigate to other step pages.

Note: Gray steps belong to other participants of the activity guide and are not available for selection.

The left panel has individual steps that are labeled. The delivered OffBoarding templates do not require a sequential order to completing steps.

You can configure you template to include substeps. Steps with substeps are indicated by an expand/collapse icon before to the step name. The step is automatically expanded when you reach it. You can also click the parent step at any time to expand or collapse it. The page will highlight the current step or substep.

<Step Status>

Each step has a status. These statuses include:

  • Not Started: These are unvisited steps.

  • Complete: To mark a step complete, click the Actions Menu icon in the banner and select the Mark Complete action item (prior to PeopleTools 8.57) or click the Mark Complete button in the sub banner (PeopleTools 8.57 or higher).

    Important! All steps must show a status of Complete to close out your portion of the activity guide and have it removed from your activity guide review board (see OffBoarding - Review Activity Guide Page). In some instances, you will need to answer questions or set all checklist items to Completed and save the page in order for the step status to change to Complete.

Users can return to steps by clicking the step or using the navigation buttons in the banner.
