A background check progress tracker is a secure online space where individuals or organizations can log in to monitor the status of ongoing background checks. It centralizes all updates, documents, and communication related to the background check process, reducing the need for back-and-forth emails or phone calls. This helps keep the process transparent, organized, and accessible for everyone involved.
Softr makes it simple to build a background check progress tracker that matches your workflow. You can connect your existing data sources, such as Airtable or Notion, and set up a tracker where users can log in, view progress updates, submit documents, and receive notifications—all in one place.
No coding is required. You can start with a template or design your own layout, control user permissions, and brand the tracker to suit your organization. Softr makes it quick to launch, easy to maintain, and flexible enough to adapt if your background check process changes.
You can include a wide range of features in your background check progress tracker, depending on your process. Some of the most common features are:
\- User logins – so candidates or hiring managers can securely access their own background check status
\- Custom dashboards – to display current status, required actions, or pending items
\- Forms – for candidates to provide consent or submit additional information
\- File sharing – so users can upload or download documents securely
\- Search and filters – to easily find specific background check cases or candidates
\- Tables, lists, and detail views – to organize case records, timelines, or compliance steps
\- Comments or status updates – to keep all communication about each background check in one place
\- Notifications – to alert users of any required actions or status changes
\- Permissions and roles – so only authorized users see relevant information
All features can be built with Softr’s drag-and-drop interface, so you can quickly customize and update your tracker as your needs evolve.
No coding is necessary. You can create your background check progress tracker entirely using Softr’s visual builder. From customizing the design to setting up permissions, everything can be managed without writing any code at all.
Yes. You can manage multiple candidates or organizations in a single background check progress tracker. Each user only sees the information and updates relevant to their specific background check, based on their login and permissions. This setup is especially helpful if you’re handling checks for several organizations, teams, or individual candidates at once.
Softr supports a wide variety of data sources for your background check progress tracker. You can connect to Airtable, Google Sheets, Notion, Coda, monday.com, HubSpot, Clickup, Xano, Supabase, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, MariaDB, BigQuery, and more. Data from other sources can be brought in via the REST API.
You can even integrate multiple data sources into your tracker and display them together. For example, you might combine candidate data from Airtable with status updates from Google Sheets. Most sources support real-time, two-way sync, so your tracker always stays up to date as information changes.
Yes, Softr gives you full control to customize how users interact with your background check progress tracker. You can adjust the layout, navigation, and content to match your process and branding. Pages or sections can be shown or hidden depending on who is logged in, so each candidate or organization only sees what’s relevant to them.
User roles like candidate, HR admin, or reviewer can be set up, each with specific permissions to view or update information. For example, candidates might only see their own progress, while your team can access all records. You can set up personalized views based on the logged-in user, keeping the experience secure, simple, and tailored to each person’s needs.
Yes, you can. You don’t need to have your data stored elsewhere to start building your background check progress tracker with Softr. If you’re starting fresh, you can use Softr Databases, which is built into the platform and integrates seamlessly with your application.
If you already track background checks in tools like Airtable, Google Sheets, Notion, Coda, monday.com, Supabase, or SQL, you can connect those as well. The REST API connector also lets you pull in information from other sources if needed. No matter where your data starts, you have full control over how it’s structured and displayed in your tracker.
Yes, you can fully white-label your background check progress tracker in Softr. You can add your own logo, brand colors, fonts, and even use your own custom domain, so the tracker feels like a seamless part of your company’s process. You also have the option to remove all Softr branding, so users only see your organization’s identity at every step.
Absolutely. Softr offers a lot of flexibility for customizing both the design and layout of your background check progress tracker. You can adjust colors, fonts, and page layouts to reflect your brand’s look and feel. You also control which sections are visible, how information is organized, and what each user sees based on their role in the process.
To display your data, you can add different blocks as needed:
\- Table blocks – to show lists of background check requests or statuses
\- List or Card blocks – to highlight individual candidates or specific check details
\- Detail View – to show a complete status breakdown for a specific background check
\- Forms – to collect additional information or document uploads
\- Charts – for visualizing completion rates or timelines
\- Calendar blocks – to display key dates or deadlines
If you need to update your tracker’s content or design, it’s easy to make changes right in the visual builder.
Softr is built with security as a top priority. All your data in the background check progress tracker is encrypted both in transit (using TLS) and at rest, and apps are hosted on secure, reliable infrastructure. You can set role-based permissions, manage users directly through your data source, create visibility rules, and apply global restrictions to ensure sensitive candidate data remains protected throughout the process.
If you connect your tracker to data sources like Airtable, Notion, or SQL, Softr doesn’t store your data—it just displays it in real time based on your access settings. You remain in control over who can view or edit information.
Softr also follows best practices for authentication, access control, and platform monitoring to keep your background check data safe.
You can start building your background check progress tracker for free. Softr’s Free plan lets you publish one app with up to 10 users and 2 user groups, and it supports all standard data sources like Softr Databases, Airtable, or Google Sheets.
