I can’t edit or delete a shift

I can’t edit or delete a shift#

For: Manager You’ll need: Nothing.

You opened a shift, made a change, hit ‚Save‘ — and Shiftavo refused. Or the ‚Delete‘ button is disabled. The shift is almost certainly locked: it falls inside a closed company period, or its time entry has already been approved.

Check three possibilities#

  1. The shift is in a closed company period. Closed periods are immutable. The shift’s date sits inside a period that’s been closed (which also locked time entries inside it). To edit or delete, an admin has to reopen the period — see Close a company period for how closing and reopening work.

  2. The time entry behind the shift has been approved. Approving a time entry locks the shift it points to. Have a manager unapprove the entry first, then edit the shift, then re-approve. See How to unapprove a time entry.

  3. You don’t have edit permission. Shift workers can’t edit shifts; only managers and admins can. If the form opens but ‚Save‘ does nothing, check your role.
