How to Use the Lifecycle Review
The Lifecycle Review gives admins a single screen to monitor every employee's onboarding and offboarding progress — who's preboarding, who's live, who's leaving, and where the bottlenecks are.
Where to Find It
- Go to Employees in the main menu.
- Click the Lifecycle tab in the organisation view.

Tip: Click any widget card to instantly filter the table below to that status.

Employee Table
Each row shows:
- User — employee name and avatar
- Profile Type — the employee profile template assigned (e.g. Default, Manager)
- Preboard — task completion fraction (e.g. 4/5)
- Start — employment start date
- Onboard — onboarding task fraction
- Resignation — resignation date (if applicable)
- Offboard — offboarding task fraction
- Status — current lifecycle stage badge
Fraction columns show how many tasks have been completed out of the total (e.g. "4/5" means 4 of 5 tasks are done). Green means complete, amber means in progress.
Tip: Click any column header to sort the table — click again to reverse the order.

Filtering & Searching
- Search — type a name into the search field to find a specific employee.
- Profile Type dropdown — filter by employee profile template.
- Status dropdown — filter by lifecycle stage.
- Clear filters — click the filter icon with a line through it to reset all filters at once.
Your filters are remembered between visits — if you leave and come back, the same view is restored.

Actions
Click the three-dot menu (⋮) on any row to see available actions:
- View profile — opens the employee's full lifecycle timeline in their profile.
- Send/Resend package — triggers the preboarding package email to the employee.
- Send preboarding forms — emails any pending preboarding form links to the employee.
- Send onboarding forms — emails any pending onboarding form links to the employee.
- Send offboarding forms — emails any pending offboarding form links to the employee.
- Send post-termination forms — emails any pending post-termination form links to the employee.
Note: The "Send forms" options only appear when the employee has incomplete user-task forms configured for that phase.

How Send Forms Works
- Click the three-dot menu (⋮) on an employee row.
- Select the relevant Send [phase] forms option (e.g. Send preboarding forms).
- A confirmation dialogue appears — click Confirm to proceed.
- Timecloud sends the employee an email containing personalised links to each pending form.
- Once sent, a reminder email is automatically scheduled if the forms are not completed within the configured reminder threshold.

The employee receives an email with a unique link for each form. Once they complete a form, it's marked as done on the lifecycle timeline. If a form has already been submitted, the employee will see a friendly "Already Complete" message if they try to open the link again.
Exporting Data
Click Export CSV to download the current filtered view as a spreadsheet. The export respects your active filters and sort order — if you're viewing only preboarding employees, only those rows will appear in the file.
