I've been assigned to a sequence. How does this work?
Overview
A sequence is a step-by-step task list your organization created and assigned to you. Most are for onboarding or training, and they exist so nothing gets missed before you start.
Each sequence appears on your homepage and stays there until you finish every step. Once it is complete it drops off, so what you see is always what still needs doing.
Please note: your organization builds and manages its own sequences. Vome does not review them and cannot complete a step for you.
1. What does a sequence look like?
A sequence is a series of steps, each one a task or an action. You work through them in order.
A typical onboarding sequence might be:
- Submit a waiver.
- Attend an onboarding session.
- Complete training.
What is actually in yours depends entirely on the organization that assigned it.
2. Why was I assigned this sequence?
Organizations assign sequences based on the role you are taking on, the responsibilities that come with it, and any requirements they need met first, such as onboarding paperwork or a certification.
If it is not clear why you were given a particular sequence, ask the organization. See question 6.
3. Can I mark steps complete myself?
Sometimes. It depends on whether your organization turned on self-tracking for that sequence.
If it is on, you will see buttons next to each task:
- Mark as complete
- Skip step
If you do not see those buttons, the organization is tracking your progress on their side. You still complete the task, they record it.
4. Are sequences mandatory?
That is the organization's call. Most sequences do need to be finished before you can start, or to stay eligible to continue.
If you are unsure whether yours is required, treat it as required and ask.
5. Can I have more than one sequence at a time?
Yes. You can be working through several at once, and each stays on your homepage until it is complete.
6. Who do I contact about my sequence?
Your organization, not Vome. They wrote the steps and they decide what counts as done.
Use the Contact admin button at the top right of your sequence view.
7. What if something is technically broken?
That one is for us. If a button does nothing, a page errors, or a step will not save, contact Vome Support:
Questions about the content of a step still go to your organization.
Summary
- A sequence is a task list your organization assigned you, worked through in order.
- It stays on your homepage until every step is done.
- You can mark steps complete yourself only if the organization enabled self-tracking.
- Most sequences are required. Assume yours is unless told otherwise.
- Questions about steps go to the organization. Technical faults go to Vome Support.
