Fill Unfilled Shifts

You can use the fill unfilled shifts functionality in Schedules and Centralized Schedules to fill a number of shifts at once.

To use this functionality, you must set up staff assignment policies to specify the order that you want to pair employees with shifts. The fill unfilled shift algorithm then tries to pair up employees with unfilled shifts in the order specified in the staff assignment policy. See Staff Assignment Policies in the Dayforce Implementation Guide.
