When you open Message Center, the Inbox folder opens, showing all types of messages including notifications, broadcasts, reports, and actions. The panel on the left side shows the folders that you have access to. You can click one of the other folders to see only that type of message. For example, to see only messages that contain reports, click Reports. Similarly, to view your drafts, sent, or deleted messages, click the Drafts, Sent, or Trash tabs.

If you open Message Center using a device with a small screen (for example, a phone or a tablet), Dayforce hides the folder list by default. To view it, click the Menu icon at the top-left corner of the screen:

The menu icon is shown when the folder menu collapses on small screens.

When you click an external link in a message, Dayforce shows a warning so that you can confirm that you want to navigate outside of Dayforce.

To search for messages in Message Center, click Search. A panel opens with filters that you can use to enter your search criteria. In the Message Filters section, you can filter by message details such as the author, subject, or date. The Form Filters section of the panel contains the following filters that you can use to find messages that contain forms:

  • Target Employee Manager: Select a manager to see messages that contain forms affecting employees who report to that manager.
  • Target Employee Group: Select an employee group to see messages that contain forms affecting employees in the selected group. The options shown in this list are configured in HR Admin > Employee Group Admin and assigned to employees in People, in the Employment > Employment Settings screen.
