Anomaly Days

In Anomaly Days, you can mark certain days as anomalies so that Dayforce excludes them from forecasting. For example, if your store closes unexpectedly due to a flood, you can mark this day as an anomaly so that it’s not included as a data point for forecasting.

Before You Begin: Create anomaly day types in Plan Setup > Anomaly Day Type. See Configure Anomaly Day Types in the Dayforce Implementation Guide.

5. (Optional) Enter a comment.
6. Click Save.
