How do I edit the text that my employees see?
There are several areas in the system where you can customize the verbiage to better match your company needs. The three main areas will be the:
- Activation Email
- Employee Dashboard (Landing Page)
- All Forms Submitted
​There are other pages including the Employee Information page which displays to the new hire when they need to update their name, gender, or birthdate, and the Select Available Forms page which displays to the new hire with the list of documents in their packet. The process to update all of the pages will be the same.
Where to Access Use the Page to Edit Drop-down menu to select the page you want to customize. The default text will be in the top box. You are not able to adjust the default text.
* On the Activation Email, the system will automatically add your logo above the custom message and the username, password, and link to activate the account below the custom message when it gets sent to the new hire.
Select the radio button next to the Use Custom Text box below the default text area. Use the formatting tools in the custom text box to adjust the verbiage as needed.
This is a sample of the email that the new hire will receive.
Some ideas for the Employee Landing page (or Employee Dashboard):
- Welcome message
- Letter or message from your President/CEO/HR Team/etc.
- Mission Statement
- Values
- Safety or Training Video
- Video about the company/organization
- Links to handbook, policies, or other documents to review (read only)
- Pictures of Upper Management/HR Team/etc.
- Information about culture
and much more....

How do I pre-populate a form?
Some company documents may need to have standard information entered by the HR staff (company name, address, federal ID, etc.) The ability to pre-populate a form allows HR Admins to enter this type of repetitious information once so that the information is automatically inserted on the form. This saves time so that HR Staff will not have to add this information each time they need to review/approve employee forms. This feature allows standard information to be added for the entire company as well as for specific divisions or locations as needed.
