Schedule pattern deletions are allowed when managers create a schedule pattern in error. You cannot delete a schedule pattern dated for locked or signed-off days. You can change the end date to access the pattern after the locked or signed-off days.
Managers access the Schedule Pattern Editor in the schedule to delete a schedule pattern.
How to Delete a Schedule Pattern
- From the Main Menu, select Schedule with Absence Planner.
- In the schedule, open the Schedule Pattern Editor for specific employees having the same schedule pattern by doing one of the following:
- Double-click an employee.
- Right-click an employee, a schedule group row, or an employment terms row, and then select Schedule Pattern.
- Select the checkbox next to employee names to select multiple employees, right-click anyone, and then select Schedule Pattern.
- Use shift-select or Ctrl-select to select multiple employees, right-click anyone, and then select Schedule Pattern.
- Select the tab of the pattern to be deleted. Click Delete.
- If an employee has already worked part of the scheduled shift, you may receive a warning message: “The pattern cannot be deleted because it has already been worked.” It will then ask you what the end date for the pattern should be. Choose a future date such as the next day to avoid issues with worked shifts.
- Select Apply.
- On the main schedule page, select Save.
- You will receive a message: “This action can send notifications of this update to all employees whose posted schedule is affected. Do you want to continue?” You can choose:
- Save & Notify (recommended): Sends a notification to the affected employees that their schedule has been updated. .
- Save & Do Not Notify: Saves and rolls out the new schedule pattern but does not notify the affected employees.
- Cancel: Cancel the Save action.
