How to Edit a Blocks Settings

You can update a block’s settings at any time by changing the block type (Optional vs Mandatory) or splitting the block back into individual shifts.

Steps

  1. Navigate to Shifts screen

    • Go to Shifts from the main navigation.

    • In the left-hand panel under All Shifts, click Blocks.


2. Select the block
Find the block you want to cancel and click the shift dates (the hyperlink) to open the block details.


3. Open block settings
On the block details screen, click the green Settings button. A settings modal will appear.

4.Edit the block type

  • Optional block – locums can book or apply for any of the shifts within the block.

  • Mandatory block – locums can only book or apply for the entire block.

5. Split the block (optional)

  • Click the grey Split Block button to open the confirmation modal.

  • Select the green Yes, Republish button to split the block into individual shifts.

6. Save changes

  • If you have updated the block type, click Save Changes.

  • If you split the block, the individual shifts will be republished automatically.


Additional Information

  • Splitting a block will republish all included shifts as standalone postings.

  • Once a block is split, it cannot be re-formed automatically — you’ll need to create a new block if required.


Troubleshooting

  • I want to remove just one shift from the block: Use the Remove From Block option in the options drop down menu next to the specific shift.
