In Centralized Schedules, you can use drag and drop to move, copy, and swap shifts between employees. You can use this functionality only for employees that have the same job assignment and work in the same location. Dayforce doesn't copy information that differs between employees. For example, if you copy an employee's shift and the receiving employee is assigned a different project, docket, or labor metric, Dayforce leaves these fields blank.
When you click a shift and drag it to a cell that doesn't contain a shift, the move icon (
) and the copy icon (
) appear. When you click a shift and drag it to a cell that contains a shift, the swap icon appears (
). Dayforce grays out any cells that you can't move the shift to. In the screenshot below, you can move or copy Ali's shift to Andre or Chelsea, but not to Anton, Brenden, or Carl.
To move, copy, or swap a shift:
- Go to Centralized Schedules and load a template.
- Expand the location grouping in the hierarchy, then expand the Employee section.
- Click a shift and drag it to another cell on the schedule.
- Do one of the following:
- Drop the shift over the copy icon ()
- Drop the shift over the move icon ()
- Drop the shift over the swap icon ()
- Drop the shift over the copy icon (
- Click Save.
