The Schedules Bar View shows your scheduled shifts graphically. Dayforce graphs each shift on the schedule as a colored bar stretching from the shift’s start time to its end time. To use the Bar View, click Options in the toolstrip and, in the Editor Type section, select Bar View.
To create and modify shifts, use the icons in the vertical toolstrip on the left.
| Icon | Description |
|---|---|
|
Edit: Enables edit mode. You can select and move shifts, activities, meals, breaks, and tasks in the schedule. In select mode, you can also click and drag the edges of a shift, activity, meal, break, and task, to increase or decrease its duration. |
|
Add Shift: Enables add mode. You can add employees to the schedule by clicking and dragging the cursor across the schedule at the desired times. In the Coverage View, this button also opens the Add Schedule panel, from which you can select one or more employees to add. |
|
Add Meal: Enables add meal mode. You can click the shifts you want to add meals to. |
|
Add Break: Enables add break mode. You can click the shifts you want to add breaks to. |
|
Add Activity: Enables add activity mode. You can select an activity from a list to add to shifts. When you select an activity, the schedule automatically highlights the employees that can work the activity and shades out the employees that can’t. Dayforce shows the add activity icon only if at least one activity is configured for one job assignment at a location. |
|
Add Task: Enables add task mode. You can select a task from a list to add to shifts. When you select a task, the schedule automatically highlights the employees that can work the task and shades out the employees that can’t. Dayforce shows the task icon only when at least one labor-impacting task is planned for the selected week. |
|
Delete: Enables delete mode. You can click a shift or one of its components (that is, meals, breaks, activities, or tasks) to delete them. |
|
Stack: Stacks shifts one on top of the other to remove gaps in the schedule. This button appears only in the Coverage View. |
|
Coverage: Opens the Select Coverage Display list, from which you can select the coverage that you want to view. Dayforce shows this button only after you publish your plan and generate the labor curve. |
Note: Dayforce shows the stack and coverage icons at the bottom of the screen, far below the other buttons in the vertical scrollbar.
When you select a shift in the Bar View, Dayforce highlights it in blue. When you click the shift’s label, the Edit Shift Details slide-out panel opens on the right side of the screen so that you can view and edit the shift’s details:
You can modify a shift’s details in the Edit Shift Details slide-out panel, or by clicking and dragging in the workspace. When you do, the changes show up immediately on the schedule. To collapse the slide-out panel, click the right arrow icon (

To change the information that Dayforce shows in the Bar View, click Options in the toolstrip. See Schedule Options.
