Working With Premade Templates

To create a template from a premade template:

1. Go to the Onboarding/Offboarding Template List page. For instructions, see Accessing the SuiteApp.

2. On the page, choose a premade template. Click View.

   Note:

   Don't click Edit. If you do, SuiteApp upgrades may overwrite your changes.

3. On the template page, point to the Actions list. Click Make Copy.

4. On the Onboarding/Offboarding Template page, click the Template Name field. A list of tasks will appear under the Tasks subtab. The Plan Type and Due Date Basis fields are already populated with the appropriate entries.

   Note:

   The Due Date Basis field is populated according to plan type. For onboarding plans, it displays Hire Date. For offboarding plans, it displays Termination Date.

5. In the Template Name field, enter a new name with a maximum of 300 characters.

6. In the Custom Welcome Message and Email Content text box, retain or edit the message. The text shows in the Onboarding portlet, welcome page of the Onboarding plan, and is sent as an email notification to the employee.

   Tip:

   The [firstname] placeholder fills in the employee’s first name sourced from the employee record.

7. On the Tasks subtab, you can keep or update the existing values for each task.

   Column	Notes
   Task Name	Keep the task name or enter a new name with a maximum of 300 characters.
   Task Description	Keep the task description or enter a new one with a maximum of 100 characters.
   Required	Check the box if the assignees must finish the task.
   Days from Due Date Basis	This column works with the Due Date Basis field on the header section. Enter the date when the task should be finished. Before the due date basis – Enter a minus sign (-) and the number of days. On the same day as due date basis – Enter zero (0). After the due date basis – Enter the number of days. No defined due date – Leave blank. The following lists some examples of tasks and the appropriate entries: Order a computer 14 days before the hire date – Enter -14. Introduce the new hire on their hire date – Enter 0. Complete profile five days after the hire date – Enter 5. Submit an optional document – Leave blank.
   Assigned To	To assign a task to a specific employee for all plans created using this template, select the employee. Otherwise, leave it blank. You can fill out the column later when you create a plan for an employee. To select assignees, click the double arrows. On the popup window, select assignees from employee lists or search for their names.
   Include Supervisor as Assignee?	Check the box to include the supervisor as an assignee. When you use the template to create an employee's plan, the Assigned To column will automatically include their supervisor.
   Include Employee as Assignee?	Check the box to include the employee as an assignee. When you use the template to create an employee's plan, the Assigned To column will automatically include their name.
   Task URL	If a task requires the employee to access a website, add the URL. You can add a maximum of 999 characters on this field. The task name will show as a link in the assignee's plan. This is especially helpful if the task involves other pages in NetSuite.

8. To add tasks, go to the bottom of the task list. Enter the task details and click Add.

9. Click Save.
