If the shift is part of a repeating series, a confirmation prompt will appear asking how you'd like to delete it. Choose from the following options:

  • Just this shift — removes only the selected occurrence
  • All Tuesdays — removes all shifts on that specific day of the week
  • This & all future — removes this shift and all upcoming shifts in the series

Step 3: Transfer Appointments

Once you confirm your deletion choice, if the shift contains active appointments, a prompt will appear with two options — Transfer appointments to reassign them to another staff member, or Cancel appointments & delete to cancel all appointments and remove the shift in one action.

Shifts with booked appointments cannot be deleted. To proceed, first transfer all appointments by clicking the "Transfer Appointments" button.

NOTE: You cannot transfer appointments to a different shift for the same user on the same day. The transfer option only allows moving appointments to another user who has a shift on that day.
