Inactivate Work Schedule Calendars

Inactivate Work Schedule Calendars

You can increase performance efficiency by inactivating work schedule calendars that you're not using. Once you inactivate a work schedule calendar, you can't make edits or activate the work schedule calendar again. Workday recommends inactivating work schedule calendars instead of deleting them so that you can retain work schedule calendar historical data.
Inactivate work schedule calendars:
  • That doesn’t have any assignments.
  • With assignments that have an end date before the date on which you want to inactivate the work schedule calendar.
You can't inactivate work schedule calendars that are part of a work schedule calendar group.
  1. Access the
    Edit Work Schedule Calendar
    task.
  2. On the
    Inactivate
    tab, select the
    Inactive
    check box.
When you inactivate a work schedule calendar, Workday removes it from workers' calendars.
For a list of all work schedule calendars, access the
All Work Schedule Calendars
report. When you inactivate a calendar, Workday tags it as inactive.
To check the date a work schedule calendar was inactivated, access the
Inactivate
tab of the
View Work Schedule Calendar
report.
If you’ve enabled Workday Absence Management and workers only have inactive work schedule calendars assigned, confirm that you aren't using work days in the
Days to Include
on
Time Off Plans and Leave Types
