In the Options panel, you can customize how Dayforce shows your schedules.

Options panel settings
Setting	Description
Grid Organization Type	Show employee names in the left column and job names in employees’ shifts. Dayforce shows unfilled shifts in a single row at the top of the schedule.
Display Partial Availability	Show employees’ partial availability information with the partial availability icon (), which appears in the bottom right corner of cells on the schedule. When you hover the cursor over it, a tooltip appears with the employee's partial availability.
Display Shift Hours	Show employees’ shift hours in the tooltip that appears when you hover the cursor over a shift.
Level of Detail	Switch between a low, medium, and high level of detail.
Autopopulate Meal/Break Before Add	Show meals and breaks in the Add Schedule dialog box. When you clear the checkbox, meals and breaks appear only after you add the shift to the schedule.
Display Job Assignment As	Controls how Dayforce shows employee job assignments on the schedule: Department Name Job Name: Show both the department name and the job name. Job Name: Show only the job name.
Show Segment Details	Show segment details in shifts. You can control the details that Dayforce shows using the checkboxes in the Show Additional Details for Segments setting. Role feature access: Schedules > Enable Segment Display
Show Additional Details for Segments	Controls the segment details that Dayforce shows in shifts.
Display Employee Node	Controls whether the Employee section appears below each location your grouping hierarchy. The Employee section contains all employees who work at the location.
Reallocate meals and breaks on schedule edits	Automatically reschedule, add, or remove meals and breaks when edits to shifts cause the meals and breaks to change. An employee’s punch policy rules might require a meal or break at certain intervals, so when the shift length changes, Dayforce automatically reallocates meals and breaks. For example, if you edit a three-hour shift, which originally didn’t receive a break, so that it’s now six hours long, Dayforce automatically adds a 30-minute meal. Dayforce removes breaks from scheduled shifts if you reduce the shift’s duration such that the shift no longer qualifies for a break. Dayforce also reschedules meals and breaks. For example, suppose that an employee has a break in the last hour of their shift, and you reduce the shift’s duration by an hour. Dayforce moves the break so that it no longer starts at the end of the shift.
Automatically select an activity for schedule	Automatically add the primary activity associated with the shift’s job assignment.
View totals in hours:minutes	View totals as hours and minutes (37.30) or as decimal values (37.50).
Indicate Minor Status	Highlight employees that are under 18 by showing the minor icon beside their name:
Indicate Shared Employees	Show the shared employees icon () next to employees who work at the selected location on a secondary work assignment.
Enable real time calculations	Select this checkbox and the Recalculate button recalculates the Cost tab. Clear it and the Recalculate button recalculates all schedule information as well as the Cost tab.
Include Manager comments on copy	Include manager comments on copied shifts.
Default Landing Pane	Select the panel that Dayforce shows by default after you load your schedules.
