Session 11: Dayforce Studio & DPI Builder Series – Dayforce Studio: What's next? DetailsIn this session, the Dayforce Studio team reviewed what’s next on the Studio roadmap, including forms and workflow, calculator experiences, AI-powered builder capabilities, custom code extensions, and the deployment lifecycle for Studio applications. The team recapped how Dayforce Studio enables builders to capture new data, create new data objects and fields, apply custom logic, and build new user experiences that work with Dayforce workflows, reports, and integrations. The session included a demo showing how partners and customers will be able to extend Dayforce logic using custom code in Visual Studio Code. The demo used a union wage scenario where a custom Studio app combined custom data, a Dayforce page, and a C# pay rule to apply the correct pay rate based on union, location, job assignment, and project conditions. Also previewed the AI-powered Dayforce Studio Agent, which is designed to h

Session 10: Dayforce Studio & DPI Builder Series – Deep Dive Live Q&A and Discussion This session was an open discussion designed to give partners more space to ask questions, share use cases, and explore how Dayforce Studio and DPI may apply to real customer scenarios. Rather than focusing on a planned demo, we opened the floor to better understand partner priorities, implementation questions, and areas where additional guidance may be helpful.What we covered in this session Partner discussion around positioning DPI for international payroll opportunities and where to find supporting partner resources How Studio can help reduce “black box” experiences by bringing more calculation logic, custom data, and business processes directly into Dayforce Interest in using Studio as a more flexible alternative to Employee Properties for capturing, categorizing, and maintaining additional client-specific data Discussion around APIs, Postman, conversational interfaces, and future too

Session 9: Dayforce Studio & DPI Builder Series – DPI - Troubleshooting Failures and Use Case Testing. This session focused on troubleshooting common DPI and Integration Studio issues, with an emphasis on helping partners identify why integrations may fail, return unexpected results, or behave differently across testing and production environments.What we covered in this sessionHow to troubleshoot common Integration Studio errors, including “path is ambiguous” scenarios caused by export periods, filtering, repeating records, or conditional logic How pay period setup and configuration can impact payroll-related integrations, including Quick Entries, GPRI, and pay calendar–based logic Key GPRI troubleshooting considerations, including pay period date requirements, employee/legal entity validation, tax and earning setup, and error interpretation How payslip and document upload APIs handle validation, metadata, employee matching, and upload status responses Partner discussion around mi

Session 8: Dayforce Studio & DPI Builder Series – Studio - Forms AppDetailsThis session focused on how Dayforce Studio can support forms, workflows, and tracking experiences that extend Dayforce beyond standard HR data.

Session 7: Dayforce Studio & DPI Builder Series – DPI - Inbound Integrations DetailsThis session focused on inbound integrations for Dayforce Payroll Interface (DPI) and how payroll results processed by a partner system can be brought back into Dayforce for client review, reporting, and employee-facing documentation.What we covered in this session How DPI supports inbound payroll data after partner payroll processing is complete How Global Pay Run Import (GPRI) brings gross-to-net payroll results back into Dayforce for review, approval, and reporting The types of payroll data included in GPRI, such as earnings, deductions, taxes, net pay, pay period details, employee details, and legal entity information How General Ledger data can be imported to support payroll-related accounting and reporting workflows How the Payslips API and Document Upload API can be used to load payslips, year-end documents, and other employee documents into Dayforce How partners can use Integration

Session 6: Dayforce Studio & DPI Builder Series – Dayforce Studio - Calculator DetailsThis session focused on Dayforce Studio and the calculator app capability, showing how customers can bring spreadsheet-based calculations directly into Dayforce. The team opened with a recap of Studio as a way to extend Dayforce data, create new data objects, apply custom logic, and build lightweight applications that work alongside Dayforce workflows, reporting, and integrations.This session walked through an employee bonus calculator, where a manager or admin can select an employee, enter a proposed salary and bonus percentage, and calculate projected bonus and total compensation without exporting data to Excel. The session also covered how the app is built using APIs, JSON forms, expressions, extended subcollections, transient objects, subviews, app schema, and page publishing, while highlighting roadmap feedback around bulk calculations, reporting, and future low-code or agent-assisted build e
