You configure the vacation bidding session’s details in the Vacation Bidding Session Details screen of the wizard. For more information on the settings available in this screen, see Vacation Bidding Session Details.
To configure the session’s details:
- Enter a name and, optionally, a description for the vacation bidding session.
- In the Vacation Bidding Group drop-down list, select the vacation bidding group that you want to create a session for.
- If you select a vacation bidding group that’s configured with subgroups, Dayforce adds an additional section to this screen: the Sub-Group section (see step 6).
- In the Session Type drop-down list, select the type of vacation bidding session that you want to configure. The options are:
- Concurrent
- Sequential
- If you select Sequential, Dayforce adds another screen (Sequential Bidding Configuration) to the wizard.
- For more information about concurrent and sequential session types, see Vacation Bidding Sessions.
- (Optional) Clear the Auto-Approve checkbox. This checkbox selected by default. When selected, Dayforce automatically processes and accepts or rejects vacation bidding requests after a submission round has ended.
- Important: Remember, after you save a new vacation bidding session, you can’t edit its auto-approval configuration.
- Select the Display Temporary Closures on Bidding Calendar checkbox and Dayforce marks any dates upon which a site is temporarily closed on the bidding calendars in Work > Calendar and Vacation Bidding > Bidding Dashboard.
- (Optional) If you selected a vacation bidding group that contains subgroups, select the checkboxes for any subgroups that you want to enable for the session in the Sub-Group section.
- Click Next.
