Configure Activities

In Dayforce, you can configure activities for managers to use in Schedules to keep track of important tasks that employees must perform during their shifts.

Before You Begin: For descriptions of the settings in this feature, see Activity Settings.

To set up an activity:

1. Go to Schedule Setup > Activities click Add.
2. Enter a name and a description for the activity.
3. If the time scheduled to work this activity represents ’non-service’ hours, select the Is Non Service checkbox. This option is used only if your organization distinguishes between service and non-service hours in its labor budgeting and forecasting.
4. In the Image Path drop-down list, select an image to represent the activity.
5. (Optional) In the Short Code field, enter a single letter to represent the activity.
6. In the Zone drop-down list, select the zone that the activity belongs to.
7. Use the Hue checkbox to specify how Dayforce assigns a color to the activity in Schedules:
   • Select the checkbox and Dayforce color codes activities using the color specified next to the checkbox.
   • Clear the checkbox and Dayforce uses the same color for the activity as it assigned to the shift.
8. In the Min Duration (minutes) field, enter the activity’s minimum duration.
9. Use the Is Covered By Breaks and Is Covered By Meals checkboxes to specify whether breaks and meals satisfy base coverage for the activity.
10. In the Rank Value field, enter the activity’s rank value.
11. (Optional) Enter a cross-reference code. This code must be unique and must not contain special characters.
12. Click Save.

You can limit activities to certain job assignments. See Configure Job Assignment Activities.
