now enables universal access to e-forms and workflows on tablets and smart phones in addition to desktop support on all standard browsers. iOS 6+ devices, iPad and iPhone, running mobile safari are supported. This tutorial will incorporate several features into an Employee On Boarding workflow. For example;

  • Touch screen wet signature - the new employee can sign to verify the information using their finger or a pointer.
  • Take advantage of device specific capabilities - you will see the correct date picker and keyboards pop-up on your mobile device
  • Screen Flows - ability to further divide a screen flow into sections that better lend themselves to an iPad or iPhone using the PageBreak control
  • Ability to upload an existing image or a picture taken with the device camera to the e-form
  • Use the iPad's location services to fill in the address
  • Spaces that render in a device specific manner - support swipe gestures and customized icons
  • Enhanced Task List for mobile devices
  • Quick Approval feature - allows quick review of a task by the appropriate person with accept/reject buttons
  • Generate an additional Pixel Perfect PDF for the federal W - 4 form. It is important to note here that there is no limit on the number of PDFs that can be generated. For example, you can collect the information in your form once and then use it to fill in an unlimited amount of pdfs for the new employee i.e. -the federal W - 4 and the I - 9.

Please view the New Employee On Boarding video for an introduction to some of the exciting features we will be using in this tutorial.

We estimate about 2.5 to 3.0 hours for an experienced designer to complete this tutorial. It may take up to 4.0 hours if you are a new user.

Info

If you want to capture the current location of the new employee when they are filling out the Employee Information form, turn on ' location feature. Click on the Employee Information form to highlight it in the flow designer. On the Property panel that displays on the left, Click on General Settings. Scroll to the last tab. There is a tab for the Geo - Location feature. We added a rule to the Employee information form to take advantage of the iPad location services earlier in this tutorial. Once you have the rules in place, you can choose to have the rules execute when the form loads (the On Load) option of the Geo-Location dropdown or specify a custom time period of how often the rules should execute (the custom option of the Geo Location dropdown). Check Detailed Location to capture additional information, like an address, based on the location.
