How to Delete a Role

Updated December 17, 2024 18:13

Roles in 7shifts represent the specific job titles or positions your employees hold. This article explains how to delete a Role and outlines the implications, including:

Unassigning the Role from all existing shifts
Removing the Role and its associated wage data from all users
Deleting all punches linked to the Role
Making task lists assigned to the Role inaccessible

⚠️ Deleting Roles in 7shifts will remove all associated data, including scheduled shifts, messages, and punch data.

To avoid losing data when you need to delete roles, consider backing up your data or creating an "Archived Role" department. Instead of deleting roles, move them to this department. This keeps the roles and their data in your account, preserving historical information.

⚠️ Deleting Roles is only available on the web app.

Delete a Role

Log into the web app as an Admin.
In the left navigation bar, head Settings (or, click your profile icon) > Locations/Departments/Roles.
Select the Roles tab.
Click the green + Add Role button.
Use the filters to narrow down your results by Location and Department.
Click on the More options icon icon next to the Role.
Select Delete:
Type DELETE in the required field.
Click Delete Role to confirm these changes.
