The Grid View

The Grid View shows your scheduled shifts as cells on a grid, with a row for each employee or job and a column for each day of the week:

Schedules Grid View.

To use the Grid View, click Options in the toolstrip and, in the Editor Type section, select Grid View.

You add, edit, or delete shifts using the icons in each cell. When a day that you select doesn’t contain a scheduled shift, Dayforce shows only the add icon ( ):

Add icon in a cell on the schedule.

Depending on your access, you might see the add icon ( ), the edit icon ( ), and the delete icon ( ) when you click a cell that contains a shift. When you click the add icon or the edit icon, a dialog box opens where you can specify shift details such as start and end times, meal and break times, activities, tasks, and more.

If you manage employees who have more than one work assignment, Dayforce might include shifts that the employees worked at different locations in the Schedules Grid View. For example, if you have an employee who’s assigned to your location in their primary work assignment, Dayforce might show shifts that occur at their secondary location. The system fades these shifts in the schedules grid to indicate that they occur at another location and adds the secondary location icon (Secondary location icon.):

Schedules grid with two shifts at the loaded location and two at a secondary location.

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