Overview of the Build Dayforce Wizards
After you finish using the Getting Started wizard to upload the initial set of the employee data into Dayforce, Activate loads the data into Dayforce and configures the foundational elements in a new Dayforce environment. You can then use the Build Dayforce wizards to build the key components and configure the new environment to align better with the organization's needs.
Note: For comprehensive information about Dayforce, see the Dayforce Implementation Guide (DIG).
