Background Check Statuses

While each provider may have their own naming conventions and status options, the main background check status shows the general path any background check will go through in Beyond.

Status	Meaning
	When you press submit on a background check request, Beyond will gather all the necessary information and send it to the provider. "Queued" means that it is in process of sending all the information to the provider.
	Once a background check request has been delivered to the provider, it will be set to "In Progress" letting you know that the provider is working on the request.
	Some background checks may require additional actions. If your request is set to Requires Review, click the "Complete Second Step" action link to be taken to the provider where you can complete any necessary additional steps.
	This status is used to say that something went wrong with you request. Click the "View Error" action link to see more details. There are various reasons why a request can not be processed. It may be that the request could not be sent successfully to the provider or the provider is missing key information. You may need to makes sure the provider is up and running or make changes on the employee's record before trying the request again.
	This status means that the background check request has been completed successfully! Click the "View Results" action link to be brought to the provider's site to view the full results.

Creating a Review Process

Depending on your background check process, you may want to ensure each background check request that is completed is thoroughly reviewed. To make it easier to identify which background checks have or have not been reviewed by your service reps, your team will be able to mark the background checks as reviewed by selecting the check mark next to the background check.

Use the "Review Status" dropdown in the upper left to switch to seeing all reviewed background checks:

Reviewing an Employee's Background Check Status

In addition to the background check search, you can also see background check request statuses on the employee's record.

Navigate to the employee's record that you want to review a background check status for
Select the background check charm in the upper right and select "View Background Checks"
Background check packages and statuses will be listed

*Note* Remember that if you are using the review option you may need to toggle the show reviewed option to see different background check requests and their current status.

Background Check Insight Widget

In addition to the background check search, you will also have the option of adding the background check insight widget to your dashboard. This will display the number of background checks and their status based on your current hierarchy level.

*Note* In order to add the background check widget, you will need to have at least one background check provider enabled in your system and have the insight widget security group permission:

The background checks button at the bottom of the widget will also bring you to the background check search.
