Onboarding Forms User Guide

Introduction

In CRM you can create Onboarding Forms that can be used as part of the Risk Assessment for your new client. Once the form is created, a CRM user can select the form and add it to the KYC form when onboarding a Person or Organisation record. Once the KYC Form for the Organisation or Person has been completed, the Onboarding form will be downloaded as part of the KYC zip file which you can then use to add your own document management if that is part of your firms process.

How to Create an Onboarding Form

To create an Onboarding Form, navigate to the All option on the Navigation Menu

To create an Onboarding Form, select the Create Onboarding Form option on the sidebar menu

The create new Onboarding Form screen will then appear:

Name: Enter the title of the form to be displayed to users. This is a required field.

Status:

  • Draft: Onboarding Form in preparation, not yet ready to publish and use.

  • Public: When the onboarding form is ready setting the status to Public, the form will be available to be selected in the onboarding section of a Person or Organisation record and for the user to complete.

  • Closed: A Closed onboarding will not be available to be selected.


Description

Tick the check box for Show Description Message on Onboarding Form Page if you want the description to be displayed.

By default, when an Onboarding Form is completed the user will be shown the Onboarding Form title along with any text in the Thanks Message text area. For example you could use this area to include next steps information once an onboarding form has been completed.

To redirect the recipient to another web page, tick the Redirect on Completion checkbox and enter the URL to a webpage you want to redirect them to.

Once done click the Save button. Now that the Onboarding Form is created the next step is to add the survey questions and sections.

In Text enter the question that you would like adding to the onboarding form

The available question types are as follows:

Rating – A five-star rating widget will be displayed. Users can select 0 to 5 stars in response to the question.

Optional Questions

If you select a Dropdown, Multiselect or Radio question you can add Optional Question Links which means when a user selects an answer with an optional question link enabled it directs them to answer more optional questions.  For example if a person selects ‘No’ as an answer to a question you can then redirect them to another question in the list to ask them to go into more detail. The Optional Question it is linked to will only appear if they have selected the answer that has the question link enabled.

To enable the Optional Question Link use the drop down menu to select the question it will go if the answer is selected.  Set up the optional question just like you would any other question.

Sections

You can group questions into sections in the Onboarding Form. To add a section select the New Section button. Once selected you can add a name/heading for the section in the text field. Use the Font Size dropdown to choose whether you want the text to be the size of a heading or the same size as a question. This can be used if you’re looking to create subsections that doesn’t require a full size heading or an answer.  

Optional Sections

If you select a Dropdown, Multiselect or Radio question you can add Optional Sections which means when a user selects an answer with an optional question link enabled it directs them to answer more optional questions.  For example if a user selects a certain risk as an answer to a question you can then redirect them to another section to ask them further questions and to go into more detail. The Optional Section it is linked to will only appear if they have selected the answer that has the section link enabled.

To enable the Optional Section Link use the drop down menu to select the question it will go if the answer is selected.  Set up the optional section just like you would any other section. 

Annual Questions

On the Onboarding Form you can now create an annual questions section that will only appear on the form if it being filled in as part of an Annual KYC. To set up Annual Questions add a new section and in the Annual Questions drop down select Yes. You can add multiple annual question sections if needed. In that section add your annual questions. If there are further questions that need to be part of the Original KYC form after this annual section you will need to add another section with the Annual Questions drop down set to No.

For more information on Annual KYC please see our user guide: Annual KYC – FibreCRM Support Portal

Overall Risk + Justification Questions

When creating an onboarding form you’ll notice that the Overall Risk + Justification questions are already on the form.

These questions link to the Risk Level column that is in the Onboarding Risk section next to the Onboarding Form. If you were to select Low the icon would be Green, Medium would be Amber and if you select High Risk the icon would be Red. These icons are designed so you can see the risk level of client quickly without having to go through the risk assessment form.

If you don’t require these questions they can be removed from the form using the X button on the Onboarding Form creation page.
