Workload Import by Day of Week
You can now use the WorkloadPlan object and HCM Data Loader to import workloads for specific days of the week to establish the workload for scheduling. Here's how you establish workload for a day of the week:
- Provide a date range for the workload plan record
- Use a Y for the applicable day of the week attributes to indicate the days the workload will apply
Day of Week Attributes for the Workload Plan
The imported records will be used only for the days of the week where the associating indicator is set to Y over the date range provided on the record. For example, you send workload from 6/1/2025 to 6/30/2025 for the 7a to 7p shift with only the Monday indicator set. The workload consolidation process will produce the requirement for each Monday during the specified date range, as shown here:
| Department | Location | Date | Start Time | End Time | Quantity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cardiology | Pleasanton | 6/2/2025 | 7:00 | 19:00 | 10 |
| Cardiology | Pleasanton | 6/9/2025 | 7:00 | 19:00 | 10 |
| Cardiology | Pleasanton | 6/16/2025 | 7:00 | 19:00 | 10 |
| Cardiology | Pleasanton | 6/23/2025 | 7:00 | 19:00 | 10 |
| Cardiology | Pleasanton | 6/30/2025 | 7:00 | 19:00 | 10 |
