How to Edit a Live Shift

You can edit a live shift to update its details, change its location, or assign it directly to a locum.

Written by Stevie McIntyre

Steps

  1. Open Shifts
    ​
    ​

    • Go to Shifts from the main navigation.
      ​
      ​

    • In the left panel under All Shifts, select Shifts.

2. Filter the list (optional)
Use filters such as Date Range, Job Type, or Region to narrow down results.
​
​

  • You can also apply additional filters by selecting Add Filter.
    ​
    ​

3. Select the shift
Locate the shift you want to edit, click the Options dropdown in the Actions column, and select Edit Shift.
​
​

  • The shift details modal will then display.

4. Update shift details
​
​

  • Position, Start Time, End Time & Reason Code → update via dropdown menus.
    ​
    ​

  • Hourly Rate & Unpaid Break → free text or use the arrow controls.
    ​
    ​

  • Requirements → navigate to Requirements tab & update via dropdown menu.
    ​
    ​

  • Negotiations → check or uncheck the Enable Negotiations box.
    ​
    ​

5. Change the shift location (optional)
​
​

  • In the edit modal, click the current location at the top.
    ​
    ​

  • Select a New Location from the dropdown.
    ​
    ​

  • The system will load the new location’s details automatically, but you can edit them if needed.
    ​
    ​

  • Click Confirm to save.
    ​
    ​

6. Assign the shift (optional)
​
​

  • Navigate to the Assign Person tab.
    ​
    ​

  • Select Locum as the Employment Status.
    ​
    ​

  • Search for and select the locum you want to assign.
    ​
    ​

  • Click Save Changes to confirm.


Additional Information

  • Editing a shift does not affect other shifts at the same location.
    ​
    ​

  • Assigning a locum directly bypasses the application process — the shift will move straight to Booked status.
    ​
    ​


Troubleshooting

  • Cannot locate new location in dropdown menu: Ensure you have the appropriate permissions to manage the new location before reassigning the shift.
    ​
    ​

  • Cannot assign a locum: Check that the locum has an active, approved profile before assignment.
