Building Onboarding (Transitions)-only Career Sections

The building of an Onboarding (Transitions)-only career section consists of the following steps. These steps are performed from the Career Section Administration menu:

  1. Creating a branding file (optional). It is recommended to put custom information only at the top and bottom of the browser page. Constraining the width of the page by adding navigation or a margin at the left or right around the career section is not recommended. These items make the usable area within the career section very narrow. Though job searching might not be affected too much from a narrow page, the Tasks tab contains its own task list on the left, which occupies some space, leaving considerably less space for displaying forms, content, and other Onboarding (Transitions) tasks.

  2. Creating a privacy agreement. Note that the other types of statement (e-Signature, Background Check Consent, Diversity) are irrelevant to the Onboarding (Transitions)-only career section. The privacy agreement must be associated with the Onboarding Portal career section type.

  3. Creating a theme (optional).

  4. Configuring security options for career sections. Security options can be configured specifically for the Onboarding (Transitions)-only career section.

  5. Defining the properties of the career section. For details on which properties can be defined, see Onboarding (Transitions)-only Career Section Properties.

  6. Configuring career portal pages. The My Account and Access Management career portal pages are enabled by default; configure the properties as desired. The other career portal pages cannot be turned on.

  7. Changing the label of the Tasks tab (optional). For example, if the Onboarding (Transitions)-only career section is used for offboarding, you could rename the tab Offboarding.

  8. Enabling the Activate SSL encryption setting to ensure data sent from the candidate to the server is encrypted. (Career Sections > select the Onboarding Portal career section > Security Settings).

  9. Activating the career section.

  10. Creating an Onboarding (Transitions) message template (in the Onboarding (Transitions) Administration menu) and putting the Onboarding portal URL in the message sent to candidates, new hires or employees. This URL is available under Career Sections > select the Onboarding Portal career section > Career Section URL > Show). Do not use the standard variable {TransitionsURLs_Para.TaskAccessURL}.
