Manage Shift Bids

If you edit a posted, unfilled shift but don’t save and repost it, Dayforce marks the unfilled shift with the lock icon () in the Manage Shift Bids panel:

When an unfilled shift is locked, you can’t assign it to employees or deny shift bids for the shift. Save and repost the edited, unfilled shift to unlock it.

After you award a shift bid to an employee, Dayforce adds the shift to the employee’s schedule but also adds the lock icon to indicate that the shift is locked for editing:

Save the schedule to remove the lock icon.
