Inactivating shifts

You can inactivate a shift when it is no longer applicable to the unit. Before doing so, any scheduled instances of the shift, whether published or not, are reviewed. You can only inactivate a shift after the last used or the end date of any active rotations or templates that includes the shift. If there are child teams subscribed to the shift, you can inactivate the shift after considering its usage across all child teams. The date after which you can inactivate the shift is displayed in the Inactivate Shift dialog next to the Used on or in active rotations/templates until date.

Used on or in active rotations/templates until date includes all subscribing child teams. After a shift is inactivated, you can no longer use the shift for scheduling in the team or any of its subscribing teams.

Note: To inactivate a shift, ensure that no schedule sources in MVS, such as Master Rotation, One-time Schedule, or Shift Template can generate the shift. For example, you cannot inactivate a shift if it is still used in an active rotation. If the shift is included in a rotation and the rotation is effective until January 1, 3000, it is still generated in the Shift Template generator, keeping the shift active.

To remove the shift from a rotation, remove it from the rotation rows. You must create a new version of the affected rows without the shift or inactivate the rotation row.
