How to make changes to a published schedule
Before making changes to your 7shifts schedule, ensure you understand how to re-publish shifts so your employees receive updated notifications and can view their new shift times.
Things To Know
Important: Managers/Assistant mangers require the "Can manage schedules" permission to edit and publish shifts.
- When you delete or modify shifts in 7shifts, the changes remain in draft mode and appear yellow until they are published.
- Modified shifts will not automatically update for your team or become visible to employees until you re-publish the schedule.
- You can choose to notify only the employees whose shifts were specifically altered during the re-publishing process.
Steps to edit shifts and re-publish your schedule:
Use the tabs to change your viewing preferences through the mobile or web app:
- Log in to the 7shifts mobile app and tap the calendar icon on the bottom navigation bar.
- Tap on an existing shift you wish to modify.
-
Tap the Pencil icon to edit shift details or use the three dots menu to delete the shift or change Shift Flag.
- Make the necessary changes to the shift details.
-
Tap Save shift to place the modified shift into draft mode.
- From there the shift will be in draft mode (unpublished) and yellow in color. They will still need to be published before the changes are live for the Employee.
-
Return to the schedule page and tap Publish Schedule.
- Select your preferred notification method for the team.
- Tap Publish to make the changes live for employees.
