The Reusable Content Tab

In the Reusable Content tab of Letter Management > Template Designer, you can create snippets of text such as standard letter clauses, contingencies, and disclaimers that can then be inserted into templates in the Templates tab of Letter Management > Template Designer.

Dayforce doesn't come preconfigured with this content and you need to create it. After you create this content, you and other users can add it to templates in the Templates tab of Letter Management > Template Designer.

Creating reusable content can help streamline your template management process. For example, you can create a snippet containing a job offer contingency outlining that the candidate must pass background screening. This text snippet can then be inserted into different types of offer letters for full-time or part-time jobs, for example.

The left sidebar displays the preconfigured categories that you can create content under. While you can add any type of content under each category, the following list describes the types of content that you might add to each:

Clauses: Employment agreements related to termination, permitted or prohibited activities, resignation, protection of intellectual property, or confidentiality.
Contingencies: Conditions that should be met for employment like a probationary period, background check, or screening tests.
Disclaimers: Text that explains any legal or other types of disclaimers.
Others: Any other types of standard content that would be included in an employee or candidate letter.

Only active items are displayed in the sidebar by default, but you can click All at the top right of the list to include end dated or future dated ones as well.

When you add new reusable content or select an existing content item from the left sidebar, Dayforce displays its details in the remainder of the screen.

A content item's details are divided into the following sections:

General: Defines the high-level details of the reusable content, such as name and effective date.
Content: Contains a text editor where you can add the body of the reusable content, including inserting tokens.
