- New Organization Designer user interface -
This section describes how to manage positions using the new user interface for the position panel. If your organization uses the original version, see Manage Positions (Original Organization Designer User Interface). To understand which version you’re using, see Organization Designer User Interface.
Managing positions in Organization Designer > Positions works differently depending on whether your organization uses workflows for position updates, and how workflows are configured. If edit modes aren’t being used, you can make changes to all attributes of the positions that you have access to. If edit modes are being used, the position hierarchy is read-only when it loads, and you have to select an option in the edit menu to start managing positions:
When using edit modes, different types of updates can be sent to different people for approval. Without edit modes, all changes are sent through the same approval route.
If workflows haven’t been configured correctly, the position hierarchy is read-only, and an error message tells you to contact your Dayforce administrator. This issue usually means that the workflow form hasn’t been configured correctly in Workflow Administration > Role Privileges. See Step 3: Configure Workflow Role Privileges.
