EvidentID Partner Stage Rule

You can create partner stage rules on applicants in the EvidentID stage in the workflow editor. There are four statuses you can take action on: Pending Action, In Progress, Valid, and Invalid. The example status values are:

• Submission Pending indicates applicant needs to complete the data submission on EvidentID portal
• In Progress indicates that an applicant has submitted all relevant info and awaiting final result from EvidentID
• Verifying indicates final results awaiting from EvidentID
• Valid indicates an applicant passed the screening
• Invalid indicates the applicant has failed the screening

A user can create a rule to move the applicant through the Fountain funnel. Below is an example of the Partner stage with rule in the EvidentID partner stage:

Important Note:

It is recommended to have a custom stage with rules to be set up after the EvidentID stage. Since a background screening may take a day or two to complete, the custom stage with rules can hold the applicant until the final result has come back.

Important Note:

EvidentID uses email addresses to detect duplicate applicants. An applicant with the same email address will not be able to proceed through the application.
