How to delete a role
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:
- Un-assigning 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.
