An overview of all available settings within the Worker Experience platform.

Updated over a week ago

Overview

The Settings activity in the Worker Experience platform houses all of the settings that are relevant to your company's account, and your workers.

Note: some settings pages may not appear in your account, based on what products your company does & does not have access to.

Access it directly from the sidebar to view and update the following settings:


Company

View & configure details about your company here, including:

Company Profile

Set all basic information for your company here, including your company's name/legal name, address, and logo. Support Email and Support Phone fields can be set with the best points of contact for if your workers need support:

Fountain Hire Account connection

If your company is also a Fountain Hire customer, this section is where you'll connect that account with your Worker Experience account. This information can be found in your Hire account Company Settings.

Please ask your Fountain rep for help with setup.

EINs

If your company uses I-9 Center functionality, here is where you'll configure the EINs for your account.

EINs can be linked to individual workers, either:

  • Manually in their worker profile, or

  • Automatically based on the value(s) of a worker property

To configure the automated option:

  1. Click Add links to worker properties for the EIN that you would like to be auto-assigned to workers

  2. Specify the worker property and the associated value that should be met in order for this worker to be assigned to that EIN

    1. For example, if workers in California should be assigned to this EIN, select the "Location-State" worker property and type in 'California'. This will assign all workers with a location in California to that EIN

    2. Note: use location & job Uuid values here instead of their free-text names

  3. Click Submit

Messaging

The Messaging section has two settings:

  1. The default email address that communications to workers will be sent from

  2. Enabling or disabling email and SMS communications to workers

    1. If a communication form is toggled on, then all communication via that method will be disabled

External Messaging Support

If your WX account is linked to a Fountain Hire or a Workday account, enabling this feature will enable shortcut buttons to the messaging functionality in that platform from I-9 Center worker profiles.

For workers from Fountain Hire, this will show an Applicant Profile button that links to that worker's Hire applicant profile:

For workers from Workday, this will show a Contact worker button that opens an email draft to them:

Worker Portal Sign-In Options

If enabled, this feature gives workers the option to receive a one-time password in order to access their worker portal. Workers who select this option will receive a six-digit temporary passcode sent to their email that they will have to enter in their worker portal.

This option is in addition to the option to access their worker portal via an email, not in place of.



Team

This page is where you can give your colleagues access to your company's Worker Experience account.

To do so, click Invite in the top right corner, enter their email address in the pop-up that appears, and click the Invite button:

This will send your colleague an email with a link to specify their first & last name, and set up a password for this account. Their email will show as Pending in the team member table until they accept the invitation.

The More Actions button for each user has 1-2 options:

  • If a colleague has not yet accepted their email invitation, you can click Resend Invitation to send the email out again

  • Any colleague can be Removed from the platform, which removes their access entirely


Worker Attributes

Worker attributes are custom values that can be assigned to your employees, and given values to help organize your employee population.

Please see this article for more details on how to set up and utilize worker attributes.


Workforce

In the workforce settings, you have the option to select deduplication keys. These keys allow you to choose specific worker details for verifying potential duplicates within your system. You may select one or combine multiple options. Once configured, any newly created or imported worker profiles that match the criteria will trigger an error indicating that the user is already present in the system.



Security

The Security settings page currently has one feature that can be enabled: Open Signup.

This feature, which is disabled by default, allows for people with an email address in a given domain to be able to sign up for the WX platform through an open signup link.

To set this up, do the following:

  1. Toggle the Enabled button on

  2. In Allowed Domains, enter the domain address that you want (most likely your company's email format, such as "fountain.com") and hit Enter

  3. Click Save

  4. This will create an Open Signup URL, which you can then send to others in your organization.


Location Groups

In this section, you have the ability to view, edit, create, and delete location groups. Location groups consist of multiple locations and can be used to streamline the process of assigning roles and permissions be selecting a group of locations, as opposed to selecting individual locations one by one. Once a group has been established, you may add or remove locations from it as needed. Additionally, you have the option to provide a brief description for the group during its creation.


Roles & Permissions

Limit access to certain parts or features of the Worker Experience platform for everyone who has access to it.

See here for more details on how to set up and utilize roles within WX.


Onboard App Settings

This settings page allows for you to configure integration providers for the following features:

  • I-9

  • W-4

  • Integrations

Currently, we support WorkBright as an integration option for I-9 and W-4; and Workato for other integrations. Setting those providers on this page is required for those features to work correctly.


Company Attributes

The Company Attributes page allows you to view, add, edit, and delete attributes related to your company. These attributes are currently not in use anywhere, but new features will be available soon.

To add a new attribute:

  1. Click Add Attribute

  2. Give it a label (a description of what the attribute is)

  3. Select the attribute type from these options:

    1. String (plain text)

    2. Number (allows numerical values only)

    3. Date (allows for values only in a date format)

    4. Boolean (true or false answers only)

To edit or delete an attribute, click the More Actions button from the attribute table.


Email Templates

The Email Templates page allows you to customize your brand's appearance for company communications, excluding password resets and account signups. You can use AI to automatically generate fonts, sizes, icons, and colors by entering your company URL, or opt for manual customization. Customize global branding elements such as your logo, text font, text color, and background color. A preview window on the left will show a real-time representation of your template choices.


Locations

The Locations page lists all physical locations that your employees work at.

Please see this article for information on how to set up locations, and assign them to your workers.

Jobs

The Jobs page lists all roles that your employees hold.

Please see this article for information on how to add new jobs, and how to assign them to your workers.

Locations and jobs can also be assigned to workers when importing them via a CSV file - see this article for more details.


Tags

The Tags page, also known as the Tag Manager, allows users to manage tags that can be added to worker's I-9, W-4, and Onboard flow profiles. Here, you can take the following actions:

  • Search for existing tags using the Search bar

  • Add a new tag: Click Add Tag in the top right to create a new tag for your users to be able to add

  • Edit existing tags: click more actions > Edit to update the label for any existing tag
