View Candidate Import Errors in Dayforce

You can view candidate import errors in the \Error folder on your SFTP site, however you cannot see specific information about what caused the import to fail. You can view these details in Dayforce by looking at the job log for the Candidate Import background job. This log also allows you to view any warnings that were generated during the import. Although warnings don't cause the import to fail, it's best practice to review these warnings to ensure that all of the data was successfully imported.

To view the job log for the Candidate Import background job:

1. Go to System Admin > Background Jobs.
2. Click the Job Logs tab.
3. (Optional) In the Filter panel, do the following:
   1. In the Job Name drop-down list, select Candidate Import.
   2. In the Date Range fields, specify a date range that includes the import that you are searching for.
   3. Click Apply Filter to return a list of Candidate Import background jobs and their statuses.
4. Locate the specific import that you want to view, and then expand the row.
5. Do one of the following:
   • If the job completed successfully, click the Job Information tab to view any warnings that were generated during the import.
   • If the job failed, click the Error Information tab (if it's not open by default) to view the errors that were generated during the import.
