How to Trigger a Workflow for Multiple Employees in Core HR

In the event that a workflow must be generated for multiple employees at one time, follow the steps outlined below.  This will trigger a workflow instance for each employee that meets the specified criteria. 

Some examples of when this may be useful are periodic employee surveys or annual employee acknowledgment forms.

We offer a video training for this topic on Arcoro Learning.

Navigating to Workflow Management
  • Expand Settings and click Workflow Management from the menu.

  3. Select the eligibility rule that is needed from the tab/window, then click Save and Generate.

  4. For the workflow instance generation progress indicator to be complete, it must reach 100% and show "Process Complete." Interrupting the process prematurely will result in not adding all employees to the instance.

Additional Notes

  • Employees missing an email in the Work Email field of the Employee Demographics screen may impede the instance generation of employees falling on the alphabetical employee list after them. 
  • Closing the Instance Generation window prior to 100% generation being reached may result in missing instances for eligible employees.
