◼️Dormant Shift

Dormant Shift

Path: Cloud > Settings > Attendance > Shift Details > Dormant Shift

Dormant Shift lets you manage inactive shifts. Marking a shift as dormant:

  • Hides it from dropdowns, scheduling, and report generation.

  • Retains its historical attendance records.

  • Can be restored anytime.

The Dormant Shift tab lists all shifts marked as dormant. All timings are displayed in 24-hour format.

Each shift appears as a card showing the Shift Code, Status, Shift Name, Shift Timing, In Range, and Out Range, Report Short Name (i) icon, along with a view (eye) icon. Use the Search by Shift Name or Code bar at the top right to find a specific shift by typing its name or code. Click Download Excel to export the list of dormant shifts shown on this tab.

How to Mark Shifts as Dormant?

Step 1: Login to the Cloud Portal, go to Settings, select Attendance, and open Shift Details,Go to Active Shifts.

Step 2: Click the Mark as Dormant button to open the confirmation dialog.

Step 3: Review the number of employees assigned and scheduled days shown. Type the Shift Code exactly as displayed to double verify the selected shift, and click Confirm, or Cancel to exit.

Important Note: Deleting a shift is permanent and cannot be undone use Mark as Dormant instead to deactivate a shift without losing it. Marking a shift as dormant removes it from all dropdowns, scheduling, and reports, deletes its future schedules, keeps past attendance records unchanged, and is recorded in the Audit Trail. It can be reactivated later from the Dormant Shift tab.
