CAUSE 2: System is working as designed.
- Documents uploaded from Custom MDF Objects cannot be viewed via Onboarding Documents in the onboarding dashboard.
Resolution
SOLUTION 1:
- To ensure that attachment fields for custom MDF objects configured on New Hire Template, the Attachment Field Configuration object needs to be created with the following details:
- Object Type : Custom MDF object
- Attachment Field : Attachment field from the object
- Entity ID: externalCode (corresponds to User type field in the custom MDF object)
SOLUTION 2:
- The documents uploaded via custom objects associated to the hire template can be accessed via the Dashboard Details Action Menu -> New Hire Data Page ( the object needs to be used in the template for the page).
- These attachments are not visible with the other generated documents under view documents.
- The Product Management Team has a plan on updating the guide to clear out such scenarios and may include in future enhancements. NOTE!! There is currently no committed date on the roadmap. You may have this posted via the Influence Portal for tracking purposes.
