How to Create a Responsible Group

A responsible group must be assigned to all mandatory onboarding tasks. Responsible groups contain onboarding participants who are responsible for completing a given task and can include one or many individuals or roles. 

Note

If a responsible group is not assigned to a mandatory onboarding task, the hiring manager will be considered the responsible owner by default. 

If you cannot access the Onboarding General Settings needed to assign a responsible groups, check the permissions assigned to you. The following permissions are required: 

  • Administrate Onboarding or Offboarding content
  • ONB2ResponsibilityConfig 

To ensure tasks get completed on time, it is best to assign a group of users to a task. In this way, multiple people can track its progress and it is not dependent on one individual. 

In the following video, you will learn how to create a responsibility group.

  2. Choose +New Responsible Group.

  3. Enter an ID and Group Name.

The User field is a dropdown menu with a text field that can be used to manually search for and add one or many users to the group. You can also add users to the responsible group by using Dynamic Groups

  6. Choose Submit.
