QR Code Onboarding is here!

Onboarding your members is now faster and simpler. The new QR Code Onboarding feature allows users to scan a code to join your All Hands and Team directly, no links or manual entry required.

QR codes can be generated for:

The command All Hands
Your Department Team & All Hands if new, or just your team if they are already in the command.

Print the code for in-person events and hang it at the door.

CAC login coming soon!

AOK will soon support Common Access Card (CAC) login. Members whose DoDID is included in their onboarding information will be able to access AOK directly using their CAC credentials. This enhancement will streamline authentication and further align AOK with DoD security standards.

Never Lose Your Work Again!

Users can now move between sections of AOK without losing their progress on drafted messages. The new Saved Work capability preserves message drafts automatically — even if the computer is shut down or the session times out.

This improvement ensures a smoother, more reliable workflow for anyone creating or editing communications.

Enhanced Bulletin Board: Acknowledgements and Tracking

The Bulletin Board has been upgraded with new capabilities designed to strengthen accountability and visibility across your teams.

Leaders can now:

Request acknowledgement for posts or resources shared in any Bulletin Board section.
Track who has seen and acknowledged each post or resource.
Export acknowledgment data to review and report on engagement.

This enhancement was originally developed to support Required Reading, but its applications extend far beyond that. Leaders are already using it to streamline:

Onboarding for new team members
Command notices and important announcements
Safety updates and readiness communications

These new tools ensure critical information is not just sent — it’s seen and confirmed.
