Depending on how Dayforce is configured, you can control whether the approved time away periods for the employees that you manage are shown in your calendar or any shared calendars in Microsoft Outlook. You can do this in the Time Off Approvals section.
The settings in this section don’t enable employee time away in Outlook calendars. There are equivalent settings in the dialog boxes and screens throughout Dayforce where you request time away on an employee’s behalf. In time away request screens, these equivalent settings are available in the Calendars panel. In the Time Off Approvals section, these settings govern what the default selections are in the Calendars panel when you create a time away request for an employee. For example, say that you select the Add to my Calendar checkbox in Profile > Settings > Preferences in the Time Off Approvals section. After you do this and save your changes, the Add to my Calendar checkbox is selected by default in the Calendars panel when you create time away requests.
To configure your default selections for the settings that control employee time away in Outlook calendars:
- Go to Profile and open Settings > Preferences.
- In the Time Off Approvals section, do any of the following:
- To add your employees’ approved time away periods to your personal Outlook calendar, select the Add to my Calendar checkbox.
- To add your employee’s approved time away periods to a shared calendar, select the Add to my Shared Calendars checkbox and select the shared calendar in the drop-down list.
- Click Save.
