  3. In the Rules and Qualifiers section, select a ruleset.
  4. Click the Add icon () and select Rule.
  5. In the Type drop-down list, select Order by Employee Work Pattern Fit.
  6. Enter a name and, optionally, a description of the rule.
  7. (Optional) Select the Best Fit First checkbox. When you select this checkbox, Dayforce first shows employees whose work pattern best fits the unfilled shift.
  8. Click Save.
