Configure Fixed Schedule Templates

Fixed schedule templates combine a number of shift definitions with job assignments and arrange them into a standard pattern that you can apply to any schedule at any of the assigned locations.

To configure fixed schedule templates:

  1. Go to Scheduling Plan > Templates and click Add.
  2. Enter a name and, optionally, a description of the fixed schedule template.
  3. In the Organization field, select the locations that the template applies to.
  4. In the Template Type drop-down list, select an option.
  5. (Optional) In the Priority field, enter a number. Dayforce fills shifts from templates with higher priority numbers first.
  6. Enter an effective start date and, optionally, an effective to date for the template.
  7. (Optional) In the Reference Code field, enter a cross-reference code. This code must be unique and must not contain special characters.
  8. Click Save.

Next, you must add shifts to the template. See the following topics:
