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