Onboarding - Syncing Data Between Beyond and the Onboarding Portal

Overview

The TempWorks integration within the Onboarding Portal is primarily one-directional. Beyond is the system of record for the data, and the Onboarding Portal pulls that data in to drive onboarding tasks. A smaller set of data is then sent back to Beyond including:

  • Completed forms as PDF documents on the employee record
  • Task status as onboarding actions
  • Employee profile updates collected during onboarding



Data that Syncs to the Onboarding Portal

*Note* Please see the article titled Onboarding - Terminology for a table that highlights verbiage that is used within the Onboarding Portal and their relation to TempWorks Software.

Employee/Candidate

  • First Name
  • Middle Name
  • Last Name
  • Phone Number
  • Email Address
  • Address
  • The TempWorks Employee ID and Branch ID are stored as Custom Attributes so they can be referenced in field mappings and onboarding actions.

Customer/Client

  • Customer Name
  • Customer ID

Job Order/Job

  • Job Title
  • Worksite Address
  • The TempWorks Job Order ID is stored as a Custom Attribute.

Employer

  • Employer Name
  • Legal Name
  • FEIN
  • Phone Number
  • Address

Assignment/Placement

  • An assignment ties an employee to a customer, job order, and employer. When syncing an assignment, it chains through all four entities, syncing the employee, client, job, and employer if they haven't been synced yet, then creates a Placement record that links them together.

Field Mappings

  • Field Mappings determine exactly which fields in Beyond map to which field paths within the Onboarding Portal.
  • Default mappings cover the standard fields for all five entity types.
  • You can add custom mappings to pull in additional fields. For example, mapping a custom data field to a Custom Attribute within the Onboarding Portal.



Data that Syncs to Beyond

Onboarding Actions (Tasks)

  • Every task created, updated, or deleted in within the Onboarding Portal is synced to Beyond as an Onboarding Action.

Completed form PDFs

  • When an employee completes a form that has a document mapping configured, the completed form is then uploaded to the employee's profile within Beyond as a PDF.

Employee Profile Updates

  • When an employee updates their personal information through a form, those changes are pushed back to their employee record within Beyond.
  • The following employee fields are synced automatically to Beyond:
    • First Name
    • Last Name
    • Middle Name
    • Address
    • Email Address
    • Phone Number
    • SSN
    • Date of Birth
    • Branch

*Note* Field Mappings is separate from the above list and do not sync back to Beyond from the Onboarding Portal.

*Note* Employee profile information is only updated within Beyond once an onboarding task has been completed, such as submitting a finished form.

For example, updating an employee's phone number or address manually within the Onboarding Portal will not update that same field within Beyond.

*Note* In the event you want additional fields to be synced back to Beyond from the Onboarding Portal, you will need to create an Automation.

Please see the article titled Onboarding - Logging an Employee Message in Beyond via Automation for an example on how to create an Automation that syncs additional information back to Beyond.
