How to bulk edit shifts

This article explains how you can edit multiple shifts at once and save time on manual changes in the schedule.

If you often use the same types of shifts in your schedule and need to edit multiple shifts at the same time, you can easily and quickly bulk edit shifts in Workfeed.

For example, several open shifts may need to be assigned to one specific employee, or all shifts for a specific period may need to be replaced with an employee other than the one originally scheduled.

How to bulk edit shifts

When you want to edit many shifts at once, there are several different ways to do it. You can either select all shifts at once by clicking the checkbox ☑️ next to the calendar view in the schedule, or select specific shifts by clicking the empty circle to the left of the shift.

Once you have selected the desired shifts, you have several options:

  • Edit the start and end time of the shifts.

  • Edit the employee/employees assigned to the shift.

    • It's also possible to make all shifts unassigned.

  • Delete the shifts.

How to edit employees for shifts

If you want to change the employee/employees assigned to the selected shifts, click '👤 Employee' at the bottom of the schedule. You can then either click the desired employee from the list or search for the employee by typing their name in the search field. You can also make all shifts open by selecting 'Unassigned' at the top of the list.

How to edit shift times

If you want to change the start and/or end time of the selected shifts, click '🕑 Time' at the bottom of the schedule. From here, you can change the shift’s start and end time to the desired time period and click 'Apply' when you are done making changes.

How to use the filter for multiple shifts

You can also use the schedule filter to find specific shifts that you need to edit all at once. To do this, click the funnel icon in the left corner of the schedule and set the criteria you want.
