Organization Designer

HR-20505, HR-20618, HR-20636, HR-20799 Added the ability to assign a second employee to occupy a position whose current occupant has an expected vacancy date. You can use this new functionality when an employee has resigned and their replacement starts before they leave. It allows for a transition period for training and knowledge transfer. When overfill is supported for a position, you can assign a second employee to an occupied position as long as the position doesn't have a future occupant. Note: This new feature is available only in the new user interface, which is enabled using the Enable New Organization Designer UI client property. To support this functionality, a new Support Overfill switch was added in the Occupants tab of the position panel: The switch is available only when a date is entered in the Expected Vacancy Date field, and the date is the same as or later than the date selected in Organization Designer. As part of this update, the Position drop-down list in forms was updated so that it shows positions when they have an open space due to overfill.
HR-20533 Added the ability to change a position’s parent (managing) position in the position panel. Previously, you had to use drag-and-drop to move positions, and this method could cause difficulty in organizations with large numbers of positions. All users who have access to update a position can now update its parent position in the position panel. Note: This new feature is available only in the new user interface, which is enabled using the Enable New Organization Designer UI client property. To support this functionality, a new Change Parent button was added in the Supervisory Details section of the Information > Relationships tab: To change a position’s parent position: Go to Organization Designer > Positions. In the toolstrip, select the date that the new relationship starts. Click the position whose managing position you want to change. In the position panel, go to the Information > Relationships tab. Click Change Parent. In the Parent Position drop-down list, select the position’s new manager. The list shows positions that you have access to and that are eligible to be the new manager. It doesn’t include the position you’re editing and those under it in the hierarchy. Click Change. In the toolstrip, click Save. After you save your changes, the position you updated moves to its new location in the hierarchy. As part of this update, a new View All button was also added in the Information > Relationships tab. Click View All to see the position’s current, past, and future managers.
HR-30337 Improved the user experience and accessibility in Organization Designer. To support this improvement, the design and accessibility of several elements of the user interface were updated. Note: This update is available only in the new user interface, which is enabled using the Enable New Organization Designer UI client property. The following list contains more details about the user experience improvements: Improved the design and accessibility of the welcome screen where you activate Organization Designer. The welcome screen is shown the first time that you go to Organization Designer. It now has improved keyboard and screen reader navigation and a look and feel that matches other screens in Dayforce.

The arrow icon at the top of the menu expands it to show labels for the icons. The business units icon ( ) opens the Business Units screen, and the positions icon ( ) opens the Positions screen: Updated the toolstrip at the top of the Business Units and Positions screens. The toolstrip has the same functionality as before, with improved accessibility for screen reader use and keyboard navigation: Improved the user experience when searching for positions or business units. Now, the position search looks for matches based on position name first, then occupant name, and then business unit name. The search results also include the position reference code so that you can select the position you’re looking for. Similarly, the business unit search looks for matches based on business unit name first, then position name, then occupant name. The search results include the business unit reference code so that you can select the business unit you’re looking for. Added zoom in (+) and zoom out (-) buttons in the Business Units and Positions screens. You can use your keyboard or mouse to zoom in and out using the new buttons.
