Deleting an unavailability
In order to delete an unavailability, the process is similar to editing one, in that you need to find the unavailability in question by scrolling through the roster dates to the correct one and select it by tapping on the employees name.

You'll be prompted to confirm this action before it the unavailability will be deleted.
Notifications
