Dayforce Service automation and phased pProjects

Activate uses the most recently updated project information in Dayforce Services Automation. When a new project is created for an existing customer, Activate pulls the details of the project from Dayforce Services Automation in the following way:

  • Any new modules selected in Dayforce Services Automation are available on the Activate Phase Setup page.
  • Activate updates the Customer Type value based on the selection made for Region-Practice-Group (RPG) values in the most recently created project in Dayforce Services Automation.
  • Any new resources assigned to the project in Dayforce Services Automation are added to the existing resource list in Activate.
Fetching data from phased projects
Activate reflects the latest project data for phased projects to enable the Dayforce implementation to be performed correctly. It uses the most recently updated project in Dayforce Services Automation to populate:
  • Updates to modules on the project in Dayforce Services Automation are appended to the existing list in Dayforce Services Automation.
  • An update to the customer type on the project in Dayforce Services Automation replaces the customer type value in Activate.
  • Updates to the active resources information on the project in Dayforce Services Automation are appended to the existing list in Activate.
The following information is pulled from Dayforce Services Automation to Activate for phased project (similar to a new project):
  • Project information
  • Resource information

Activate posts the latest Testing Data to the respective Phased Project in Dayforce Services Automation (that is tied to the phase in Activate). Activate posts the latest Adoption Data to all active projects in Dayforce Services Automation associated with the customer namespace.
