Edit a Shift

Access: Users assigned the Assignment - Change 5 - AFTER Posted permission. The following roles are assigned this permission by default: Charge, Admin Assistant, Scheduler, and higher.

The primary reason for editing a shift on the Schedule page of Facility Scheduler is for staffing changes for a single assignment. For example, changing an employee's shift start time or balancing staff across departments. 

Though departments are encouraged to use the Staffing Dashboard to manage daily staffing, some departments, such as Case Management, may not use the Dashboard and rely on performing such tasks in the schedule. 

There are several methods for editing a shift in a posted schedule. The method described below is the most direct.

To edit a shift in a posted schedule:

1. Locate the posted schedule for the employee whose shift is being cancelled.
2. Right-click on the shift and choose Edit Assignment from the options. 
3. Complete the fields on the Edit Assignment screen:
   1. Select a Facility.
   2. Select a Department.
      Note the Float checkbox is preselected when an employee is moved from a previously scheduled department. 
   3. Select Shift.
   4. Add a Note (optional). Things that may be of value to capture in a note are the reason for the edit such as low census, over staffed, changed start time, etc.

5. Review entries and click Save.
