Managing and Archiving Shifts

Learn how to remove a shift from the Scheduled Shifts page and understand how FleetWatcher handles shift archiving.

Introduction

FleetWatcher does not allow users to permanently delete shifts.
However, users can easily remove shifts from the Scheduled Shifts view by adjusting the shift’s End Date.
This article explains how to do that — and what happens to shifts afterward.
Shifts will automatically move into the Archived section 8 days after the shift’s End Date.


Navigation

To manage a shift:
Go to: MMS > Shifts > Add/Edit Shifts

  • The left side of the screen shows three sections:

    • Shifts (current active shifts)

    • Future Shifts

    • Archived Shifts


How to Remove a Shift from the Scheduled Shifts Page

  1. Locate the shift in the Shifts section on the left side panel

  2. Click the shift name to open it

  3. In the When section, update the End Date to:

    • Yesterday (to remove it immediately)

    • Today (if you want it to stay visible until day-end)

  4. Scroll to the bottom of the page

  5. Click Edit Shift to save your changes


What Happens After Updating the End Date

  • The shift will no longer appear on the Scheduled Shifts page

  • Archived Shifts retain all data: tickets, notes, KPIs, and shift settings
