When is a Person assigned "Onboarding" status?
A new Person (automatically pulled in through an integration) is assigned "Onboarding" status when:
- The Person's "Join date" is populated with a date in the future
Note: If the Person's "Join date" is empty or in the past, they're given your default status for new people. You can change this under Settings > Company Settings > General, at the bottom of the page.
An existing Person is assigned "Onboarding" status when:
- The Person's "Status" is manually changed to "Onboarding"
- The Person's "Join date" is populated with a date in the future
Why can't I change a Person's status?
If you see "Cannot change status due to automation rules", the Person's dates are setting their status. For example, a Join date in the future keeps them in Onboarding. To change it:
- Open the Person and click Edit.
- Correct or clear the Join date (or the Leave date) and click Save.
- Change their Status.
If an integration puts the date back on the next sync, correct it in your HR system or identity provider, or email hello@setyl.com and we can turn off syncing for that Person.
