OnBoard Homepage Overview

What is the Homepage?

The OnBoard Homepage is your organization’s customizable landing page. It provides quick access to:

  • Recent Meetings
  • Actions awaiting your response
  • Announcements
  • Important Resource documents

The Homepage is the first page you see when logging into OnBoard (if set as your organization’s landing page). It serves as a central hub for meetings, tasks, and updates.

How do I Access the Homepage?

  • When logging in: If the Homepage is your landing page, it opens automatically.
  • From another section: Click Home in the navigation bar to return to the Homepage.

Using AI Assist to Find Meeting Information

How Do I Use AI Assist to Learn About Meetings?

Ask AI Assist About Your Meetings

  2. Or, open AI Assist using the AI Assist widget in the bottom-right corner of the page, or from the navigation menu.

Examples:
  • "When is my next meeting, and where is it?"
