Add Shifts to Fixed (Shift Definition) Templates

After you configure a fixed (shift definition) template, you must add shifts to it. For each shift that you add, you must specify the job assignment and how many shifts Dayforce should schedule for each day of the week.

To add shifts to the template:

1. Go to Scheduling Plan > Templates.
2. Click the arrow () for the template that you want to add shifts to.
3. In the Fixed Template Details panel that opens, click Add.
4. In the drop-down lists, select a job assignment, shift definition, shift labor, and location type.
5. (Optional) In the Qty fields, enter the number of shifts that Dayforce creates on each day.
6. Enter the template's effective dates.
7. Click Save.

You can add skill qualifiers to templates to define the skills that employees must have to work certain shifts. See Add Skill Qualifiers.
