Plan Toolstrip

The toolstrip in Plan contains several buttons that you can use to view and manage your plans.

Note: Dayforce enables the Calc Eff, Derive, Forecast, Forecast with Logs, and Initialize buttons only when you load store-level locations. If you load above-store locations (for example, organizations), these buttons are grayed-out and unavailable.
