Edit Multiple Records (Mass Action)

When your pay group calendar records span multiple pages (see Navigate between Pages), you can perform mass actions for each record in Pay Approve Checklist, even those that aren’t shown on the loaded page. These actions include locking, unlocking, and approving each location record.

Before You Begin: This functionality is available only when Pay Approve Checklist contains records that span multiple pages. The Pay Approve Checklist Records per page client property controls this behavior. This client property is located in System Admin > Client Properties in the Properties tab, in the Time and Attendance section. See Time and Attendance in the Dayforce Implementation Guide.
