Trainee quick-start guide⁠

DORWorks brings together your daily training records, objectives, checklists, forms, and reference materials. Your agency determines which features you use and the actions available to you.

Open app.dorworks.com and use your agency-provided account or configured Microsoft sign-in.
Open your name menu and select My Profile.
Create your signature by drawing it or typing your name and choosing a style.
Select Save Signature.

Your saved signature is used when you perform a signing or acknowledgment action that requires it.

Check your notifications

Select the bell to find items needing your attention. Open the linked record, review it, and complete the action assigned to you. Opening a notification alone may not complete the task.

Follow your daily-record process

Your program may call the daily record a DOR or a Journal. Review the assessments, narratives, events, and comments when the record is assigned to you for acknowledgment.

In a PTO program configured for trainee-started Journals, you may begin the Journal, complete your portion, and mark it Ready for FTO. That handoff is separate from the FTO’s submission into the approval workflow. Follow your agency’s instructions and the controls available in your program.

Other programs may have the FTO start the daily record. Ask your FTO which process applies before creating a new record.

Review objectives and checklists

Open your objectives and checklists to see training steps and items requiring your acknowledgment. Read the instructions, recorded check-offs, comments, and reference materials before signing off.

An item may still require supervisor approval after your acknowledgment.

Complete assigned forms

Use Forms to find forms your role may start and work already in progress. Read the instructions, complete the required information, and use the form’s save or submission controls. Forms and approval chains vary by program.

Find reference materials and ask questions

Open Resources for the Resource Library, category definitions, and your program’s rating scale. Discuss training expectations or questions about a record with your FTO or supervisor.
