Detail Level

Though the level of detail already varies between the different views (for example, Calendar Day View or Calendar Month View), you can adjust the level of detail in the Calendar Month and Week views using the Detail level switch.

In low detail, Dayforce shows worked time for past days and scheduled times for future days. In high detail, it shows times for both scheduled (marked with a calendar icon) and worked shifts (marked with a clock icon) for past days.

Low Detail:

High Detail:

When a shift with a non-midnight business day alignment is shown in the low detail Calendar Month View, Dayforce shows a special calendar icon.

For example, an organization’s business day alignment is 6:45 PM and the week’s start day is Sunday. An employee is scheduled to work from 7:00 PM to 11:00 PM on Sunday evening, April 2. Because the business day alignment is 6:45 PM, this shift is shown on Monday, April 3. The calendar icon shows the actual date on which the shift is scheduled (that is, ) but is shown in the calendar on Monday, April 3. You can hover over the calendar icon to show a tooltip with more information.
