Configure ProtoSchedules

In ProtoSchedules > Manage ProtoSchedules, you configure a ProtoSchedule’s basic information, such as its name and the locations that it applies to.

To configure ProtoSchedules:

1. Go to ProtoSchedules > Manage ProtoSchedules.
2. Click Add ProtoSchedule. The Add ProtoSchedule side panel opens.
3. Enter a name and, optionally, a description of the ProtoSchedule.
4. Select the locations that the ProtoSchedule applies to. The locations that you select must have the same start day of the week. See Configure Locations in the Dayforce Implementation Guide.
5. Select the ProtoSchedule’s duration and then click OK.
6. (Optional) Enter the ProtoSchedule’s effective dates and a cross-reference code.
7. Click Save.

When you’re ready to build the ProtoSchedule, click the actions menu icon () in the list and then click Build. Dayforce directs you to ProtoSchedules > Edit ProtoSchedules, where you can add shifts to the ProtoSchedule. See Edit ProtoSchedules.

Note: To edit, copy, or delete a ProtoSchedule, you must have access to all of the ProtoSchedule’s entities. If you don’t have access, you can only build the ProtoSchedule.
