Desktop app: IT onboarding checklist (no-login needed)

We’ve added a new IT onboarding experience to the Swif Desktop App so new hires can see and complete their onboarding checklist without signing into Swif.

What’s new

  • Onboarding Checklist page in the desktop app

    • New “Onboarding Checklist” page for employees, based on the latest designs.

    • Checklist items, grouping, and labels are fully driven by your Employee Checklist Templates.

  • No-login employee experience

    • New hires can access and complete their onboarding checklist without logging into Swif.

    • The app uses a secure, device-serial–based token flow for all checklist API calls in this mode.

  • Real-time progress & auto-hide behavior

    • Employees can mark items as completed directly from the desktop app.

    • Completion state is persisted to the backend so admins see accurate progress.

    • When all tasks are done, the Onboarding Checklist page is automatically hidden and the user is redirected back to the Overview page.

    • If there are no pending tasks (empty or all completed), the checklist page will not appear.

  • Template-driven mandatory tasks

    • Mandatory tasks are honored from your configured templates (e.g., Swif MDM templates).

    • No hardcoded mandatory items — everything comes from backend/template configuration.

Technical notes

  • Implements device-serial–based token auth for checklist APIs in the desktop app.

  • Available in Swif Desktop App build 1.0.155+1 for:

    • macOS

    • Windows

    • Linux x86

    • Linux ARM64
