Workstation Tasks: Onboarding

Download as PDF

Brief Overview

Workstation Tasks can be used to onboard new employees with personalized checklists and custom resources, fast-track time-to-value and reduce traditional training costs.

Workstation Tasks are added to the Workstation App and consist of Smart Walk-Thrus, and video and articles Resources. This checklist enables users to see their progress as they move through the tasks, improving the user experience, and pushing them to complete more tasks and engage with WalkMe.

Use Cases

Accelerate Training
Give users a clear and straightforward path to complete training. For example, create a task list with all tasks necessary for a new employee to get started such as creating a profile, reading about company policies, signing up for HR benefits, and setting up an expense account.

Improve Conversion
End customer confusion and make your product attractive and simple. For example, create a checklist that shows off your product's features and drives customers to action.

Promote Product Adoption
Enhance the customer experience and increase loyalty by boosting engagement with your site. For example, create a checklist that takes the user through all the necessary processes to get started.

How It Works

The checklist in the Workstation App is made using Onboarding Tasks that you can create in the WalkMe Editor. These tasks are associated with Smart Walk-Thrus and Resources you have already created.

Once the Onboarding Tasks are published in the Editor, they will appear in the Console in the Workstation Content Manager. There you will be able to compile a list of tasks to be published to the Workstation App.

In the Workstation App, the user can click a task in the checklist and WalkMe will launch the associated Walk-Thru or Resource. As each task is completed, the user's progress will be updated in the progress bar.
