Enable Shift Selection for Job Templates

Enable Shift Selection for Job Templates

  • Shifts enabled in your environment. To enable, create a product support case with Workday VNDLY Support.
  • Ability to view and edit
    Company Settings
     (
    More
    Company Settings
    ).
You can enable the ability to add shifts to a job template, so that newly created jobs let contractors allocate time against a shift.
Shifts aren't required on timesheets; a contractor can either select to allocate their time against a shift or not select a shift.
  1. From the header, go to
    More
    Company Settings
    .
  2. From the
    Job & Work Orders
     section, click
    Job Templates
    .
  3. Select and edit the job template that you want to add the ability to use shifts. In the job template, select the
    Apply Shifts
     toggle and (optional) the
    Are Shifts Required
     toggle.
    Enabling or disabling the
    Apply Shifts
     and the
    Are Shifts Required
     setting on a job template will only apply to new jobs created after the setting is enabled. This setting won't impact existing jobs.
  4. (Optional) If you're using the Workday VNDLY time import templates and you want to include shift assignments, download and use the updated
    Time Import
     templates to include shift assignments in the file.
