All rule types now appear in one grid that you can search, filter by type, and create from. If you prefer the classic tabbed layout, you can switch back to it at any time from the three-dot menu (⋮) on the page toolbar. Each user's choice is saved. [Certifications](/doc/docs/certifications-page) and [Accrual Rules](/doc/docs/pto-accruals-accrual-rules-page) also move to their own pages. This change affects administrators who manage labor rules, certifications, or accrual rules. Your existing rule configurations carry over automatically, so you don't need to take any action. > [!NOTE] > Questions about when this change reaches your organization?

All rule types appear in one grid. Use Create on the toolbar to add a rule, and use the search box and table options to filter, manage columns, export, or refresh. To change the layout, select the three-dot menu (⋮) and switch views.![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/5c9d1111-0c69-4e96-8910-d7f2750fdc9d/Images/Documentation/image-A1CDZFR9.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-27T13%3A14%3A10Z&se=2026-10-27T14%3A14%3A10Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=oIyLhcup4uv6q7ePeyd%2F%2BQsAj29cBPIV6WqTaR%2B8Bvw%3D) **Legacy experience:** The page is in the same location, but rule types appear as tabs above the grid. You can still use this layout by switching views from the three-dot menu. ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/5c9d1111-0c69-4e96-8910-d7f2750fdc9d/Images/Documentation/image-1791317657036.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-27T13%3A14%3A10Z&se=2026-10-27T14%3A14%3A10Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=oIyLhcup4uv6q7ePeyd%2F%2BQsAj29cBPIV6WqTaR%2B8Bvw%3D) ****Rule Configuration Screens**** **New experience:** Rule configuration screens are accessed from Admin → Workforce → Labor Rules → [rule type].
