Onboarding (Transitions) accepts null values
for transition conditions for processes.
When creating a condition for a transition between steps in a process, an
administrator can select the operators of null or not null for the
field specified in the condition. This allows the new hire or any
other form assignee to either answer or not answer a question on a
form that may or may not be applicable to them, with the lack of
answer value being considered in the condition logic. Onboarding (Transitions) can then move forward through the process
according to whether or not there is a value in the condition
field.
If a process uses a form that includes a field asking the new hire to
request a workplace accommodation, such as a screen reader or ramp, the
condition for the transition could be set to null or not null for that
field. This step has two possible transitions out to two possible steps. If
the new hire needs an accommodation and enters the information, the field
value would reflect not null. The transition would then go to a step that
addresses filling the accommodation request. If the new hire does not need
an accommodation and does not enter any information, the field value would
be null. With this value, the transition would bypass the accommodation
fulfillment step and skip to the next step in the process.
