Submit your Suggestions for Vista Web

Can it be made possible to upload and fill out fillable PDF forms for onboarding?

I'm unsure if this is technically possible, but if we had the ability to upload a fillable form and have a new hire fill it out and save it through the onboarding portal that would be great.

    I'm having issues with our pdf's not printing or coming in right too. All the buttons and some of the fields move to other places on the form and we have applicants that swear they completed it but it comes in blank. I have been working with support the last 2 days on this problem, hopefully we can get it resolved.

    Hi Tracy! This shouldn't be happening.. can you submit a support case for it so we can take a closer look?

    Feel free to email me the support case # kellie_medeiros@trimble.com

    This is a follow up question to this shipped item. I have PDFs that have been completed in Onboarding, but when I click the Download button it gives me a blank document. However when the form is pushed over to Vista, it's complete. Can we get the download option to show a read-only version of the PDF so we can verify that it is complete before telling the New Hire they are all done? Does anyone know why this happens?

    That's a great option Debbi!

    We are planning on implementing a new PDF viewer in the near future, we are hoping this will help with some of the state tax forms!

    To the guest below - we had Viewpoint do a custom setup for our state W4 forms that push over to Vista. It was not expensive, and worth every penny.

    The feature rolled out in April does not work with any of the state tax forms we use.

    Can we get a status update on this?

    The #1 request / suggestion, just sitting ignored. Not to mention all the related suggestions in the side bar that are the same thing essentially. I can't think of an HRIS system that does not support this feature or has not implemented the ability to build forms natively through the interface without this custom task nonsense.

    Embarrassing. We will be switching to another product ASAP.

    unbelievable that this product does not support this, but it wouldn't be the first time Viewpoint has failed to implement a product that is standard across multiple industries. You might as well scrap your entire onboarding system at this point.

    Is there any update on when we can expect this to be implemented? I have needed this since we switched to viewpoint. I am 90% on going paperless on the onboarding process and need this to go completely paperless. It appears that we have a large majority of the group that needs this.

    It's fascinating how the simplest and cheapest softwares have figured out this option, but a company like Viewpoint is still 'planning on implementing'.

    What's the point of going paperless when an expensive software like this can't do the basics?!

    I'm extremely frustrated with this "planning to implement."

    Currently, the best practice your support team can recommend is to upload a fillable PDF, have the employee download it, and then have the employee re-upload.

    How is this appropriate and effective? Why not just email the form and have the employee submit it?

    Please implement NOW (YESTERDAY) because you are making it very easy to want to use other systems like ADP that understand the need to automate processes because we need to do more with less!

    We'd love to have it! It would definitely improve our onboarding!

    Only 3-1/2 years since the initial "we have this as a planned feature" resposne....maybe we will have by 2025?

    Any update on this? This would be wonderful for benefit firms that we need employees to complete during the onboarding.
