    • Swipe up on the Chime app to close it.

DESKTOP

⚠️ Issues with date and time not saving as expected

For example, you are selecting a date ie 23/04/2026 but when press save, it saves as 22/04/2026. This can sometimes happen if your browser is not set to UK Time / Date

Try this:

  1. Go to your browser settings

  2. Check the time and date

  3. Set them both to UK time

⚠️ Can't see a button on the screen (that I should be able to)

If you can't see a button or a tab on your screen ie. Export button on the top right, it may well be because your screen is too big and just needs reducing a little.

Try this:

  1. On the top right of your browser, click on the 3 dots (see images below)

  2. Use the '-' button to zoom out.

  3. The button should then be visible.

ONBOARDING

⚠️ Onboarding Tile not appearing on app

You have created your onboarding forms but your team cannot see the onboarding tile. This could be because it has either not been assigned properly or because the individual needs to hard close the app to activate the onboarding tile.

Try this:

  1. Make sure you have assign your forms properly to an individual - see Assigning Onboarding Article here. (NB: To bulk assign onboarding - ie to your whole team / cohorts - talk to support or your CSM and they can do this)

  2. If you have assigned onboarding form to someone on your team who is NOT a new starter, they will need to hard close the app and reopen to activate the onboarding form. To do this, swipe up and reopen the app.
