Concept: Edit Mode

Edit Mode is a simplified schedule view that managers and schedulers can use to quickly make multiple shift changes and submit them all at once by clicking the

Save

button. This button displays the total number of changes made while in Edit Mode. You can also click

Exit Edit Mode

button to return to your original schedule by dismissing any edits you’ve made.

While in Edit Mode, Workday doesn't display:

The
Hours Variance
or
Coverage
rows, even if you enable them.
Recommended workers or allow you to assign borrowed workers from other organizations.
Schedule or shift validations until you save or exit Edit Mode.

While in Edit Mode:

If you change the
Group By
or
Sort By
filters, Workday clears all selected cells and areas.
On a published schedule, all keyboard shortcuts are available except Delete.
Any shift edits you make on a published schedule place the edited shifts in Draft status.
Workday displays a maximum of 300 shifts.
You can make up to 300 edits at once.
