 Configure Skill Display

In Schedule Setup > Skill Display, you can configure Dayforce to show an employee’s skills next to their names in the Schedules Grid View and in Centralized Schedules. Through this display, you can ensure that your schedule is adequately staffed with employees who have the required skills. You can also configure Dayforce to show skills in the Printed Schedule Report.

The system shows the skill by name or as an icon in Schedules and Centralized Schedules.

Note: Remember, you must also assign skills to employees in People before you can view them in scheduling features. See Assign Skills in the Learning Guide.

To configure skill display:

  1. Go to Schedule Setup > Skill Display and click Add.
  2. In the Skill drop-down list, select a skill.
  3. Note: The Description column and the Image column (if available) are read-only. To change the information that Dayforce shows in these columns, you must edit the skill in Learning Setup > Skills.
  4. To show the skill in the grid in Schedules and Centralized Schedules, select the Show In Scheduler checkbox.
  5. To show the skill in the Printed Schedule Report, select the Show In Printed Schedule Report checkbox. For more information on how to configure this report for skill display, see Printed Schedule Report in the Manager Guide.
  6. Click Save.
