Publish, duplicate and cancel shifts

A shift only becomes visible for your team when it is Published. Published shifts appear under Open Shifts, where people can apply.

Who can do this: shift managers.

1. In Events → Shifts → Planner, click … at the end of a draft row. The menu offers View shift details, Edit shift, Publish, Duplicate and Delete.
2. Click Publish to publish this one shift. For a published shift the same menu offers Unpublish and Cancel shift instead.
3. To publish several drafts at once, use the buttons above the list: Select … draft ticks all drafts, Publish … draft in this filter publishes all drafts that match the current filter. Confirm with Publish.
4. Duplicate creates a copy named "… (Copy)" as a draft. This works for standalone shifts; for event shifts it is refused, because each team may have only one shift per event.
5. To call off a published shift, choose Cancel shift. The dialog tells you how many people get a cancellation e-mail (booked, pending or waitlisted). Click Cancel shift to confirm or Keep shift to go back.
6. The calendar icon at the top right shows the shifts in Month, Week, Day or Agenda view.

Good to know

• When you publish several shifts, each person gets one summary e-mail with the shifts of their teams, and each connected Slack team channel gets one message.
• A cancelled shift stays in the planner as cancelled. Applications are kept for the history and nobody can apply any more.
• The publish dialog currently says "1 people" when one person is notified; this wording will be fixed.
