Mass Publish Unfilled Shifts for Bidding Sessions

If your instance of Dayforce is configured with shift bidding templates, you can mass publish unfilled shifts that employees can bid on during a shift bidding session. When you have an active shift bidding template and you add multiple unfilled shifts, you can click Mass Publish to post multiple unfilled shifts for bidding. When these conditions are met and you click Mass Publish, the Mass Publish wizard opens:

When these conditions aren’t met and you click Mass Publish, the default behavior occurs. That is, any unfilled shifts that you added are marked with the post unfilled schedule icon () and the Mass Publish wizard doesn’t open.

Before You Begin: You can add and edit unfilled shift bidding sessions only in Schedules. Centralized Schedules doesn’t support bidding sessions.

The Mass Publish wizard contains screens for every stage that’s required to post unfilled shifts for bidding:

• Select Unfilled Shifts to Post: Select the unfilled shifts that you want to post.
• Group Windows: Dayforce shows the default bidding session details and available bidding groups, which you can edit. You can override the session’s configuration and add or remove shift bidding groups and edit bid window dates and times.
• Review and Complete: Review and submit your changes.
