Behind this dataset

Same schema. As many rows as you need.

These 52 rows came out of a blueprint — 24 columns with generation rules behind each one. Open it in Data Factory to retune a column, add your own, wire in foreign keys, and run it at the size you actually need.

Rules it was built with
  • Each row represents a unique onboarding case for a remote employee.
  • Key process steps (e.g., document submission, account provisioning, compliance training) must be timestamped.
  • Automation completion status flagged for each workflow step.
  • Manual intervention reason and agent logged if automation fails.
  • Days-to-onboarding-completion calculated and included.
