How do I swap a working day for a rest day in DoTally?
When you can swap a day, the steps in My Work, and how the swap changes your goals and averages.
If you worked on a rest day instead of a scheduled working day, use Swap day in DoTally to tell it. Open the working day you skipped in My Work → Day, choose the rest day you worked instead, and DoTally treats that rest day as your working day.
Before you start
You can swap only your own days. Administrators and Managers can’t swap a day for a member.
Your schedule needs set working days and rest days (Fixed Days Working Schedule). A Flexible Week schedule has no rest days, so there’s nothing to swap.
The working day must be in the past and have nothing logged. Today can’t be swapped while it’s still in progress.
The rest day must be in the same month. It can be before or after the working day, as long as it hasn’t already been swapped.
Swap a day
In the web dashboard, open My Work and go to Day.
Go to the working day you didn’t work.
Select I will swap this day with another one.
Under Select a rest day, pick the rest day you worked instead.
Select Swap.
What happens next
The working day now reads Wasn’t working, with a note saying which day it was swapped with. It no longer counts as a working day you were expected to log.
The rest day becomes an ordinary working day. It gets a working day’s goal (if your working days have different lengths, your first working day’s) and counts toward your averages, such as Avg Logged Time and your average scores.
On the Leaderboard (Team Professional), the rest day now counts toward your rank and your Reliability like any working day, and the working day you swapped away is no longer a day you were expected to work. A swap inside one week ranks that week as if you’d worked your normal schedule.
Your Week and Month goal and Away allowance follow the swap, on the Timeboard and in My Work. A swap inside one week leaves that week’s goal as it was, as long as your working days are all the same length. A swap into another week moves that day’s goal from the first week to the second.
Your logged time doesn’t change: a swap moves which day you were expected to work, not the time you logged. If you didn’t work that day and didn’t make it up, select I took a day off instead (the No time logged notification calls it I didn’t work on that day). A day off doesn’t count against you: it leaves your averages and the Leaderboard, and it isn’t a day you were expected to work for Reliability or for your Week and Month goal. With 8-hour days Monday to Friday, a week with one day off reads Goal: 32h / week.
Available on: both plans, for every role.
