The following article will help to explain how you can create a new Shift Rotation under the Shift Setup V2 model in Dayforce using Configbot.


  1.     Enter your Username and Password and click at the submit button to login.

  1. Select the workspace that best suits your preferences or requirements.


  1. Navigate to the workbook (in my case, Iteration #1) and open the workbook.



  1. The workbook will appear in a new tab on your browser. Navigate to the worksheet tab labeled ‘Shift Rotation’.


  1. Enter the Unique Reference Code and Name for the Shift Rotation you are creating, along with the other details as required. Enter the data after the purple divider as well. In the Other section, select a similar Shift Rotation, then add the days and their definitions. Once done, set the Processing Status to "Pending."


  1. Close the workbook and navigate back to ConfigBot. Under the Actions tab for the same iteration number, click the hamburger menu, and select the "Start Configuration" option from the dropdown menu.

  1. The Start Configuration pop-up window will appear. Enter your Dayforce password and provide any relevant execution notes. Then, select the checkbox for Shift Rotations. Finally, click the "Confirm and Start" button.

  1. You can later click the information icon to monitor the progress of your iteration.


  1. Once the status shows "Complete," return to the workbook to verify that the Shift Rotation is created. The corresponding rows and their fields will be highlighted in green, indicating successful execution. Additionally, the Processing Status for particular rows will be changed to "Processed”.


  1. Navigate to your Dayforce instance to confirm the changes. Under Shift Rotation, you’ll see the newly created Shift Rotation “UK-PT2-M-F-24-Hour” and its related data.







This confirms a successful execution where a new Shift Rotation was create in Shift Setup V2 module using ConfigBot, ensuring accurate data transfer and configuration within Dayforce.
