If you'd like to start your rota from scratch from a specific date, here are the steps you need to follow to delete the entire rota in the future, including recurrences.


1- Remove your recurring shifts

Before deleting your rota, you need to make sure you remove all recurring shifts.

Here's how to do it:

  1. Click on a recurring shift

  2. Click on the trash icon to delete the shift

  3. Click on "Delete and publish"

  4. Choose the second option “Remove this shift and all following shifts of the recurrence”.

  5. Click on "Submit"

Repeat the previous steps for all the shifts that contains a recurrence.

2- Select the "Month" view

Switch the calendar to "Month" view

3- Activate the selection tool

Move your cursor over this symbol to access the selection tool.

4- Click on "All shifts"

Once the top menu is open, check “All shifts”.

5- Click on "Delete"

Once all quarters have been selected, delete them.

6- Confirm your action

A window will open to validate your action and ensure that you wish to delete all these quarters. You'll need to check the “I understand this action is final” option and then click on the “Delete and publish” button.

7- Repeat for subsequent months

You can repeat steps 2 to 5 until you no longer see any shifts on the rota.

If you'd like to remove a recurrence that appears broken or incorrectly deleted shifts without necessarily deleting the entire rota, you can consult this article.
