Deleting the schedule for a week

To delete the schedule for an entire week, make sure you are on the week you’d like cleared. Click the Tools icon in the right corner of the Scheduler. From the drop down, click Clear Schedule.

Clear ScheduleWhen using the Clear Schedule feature, When I Work will clear any shift that starts in the current view. However, we will not clear shifts that only ends in the current view.

For example, if you are viewing Sunday-Saturday and there was a shift that started last Saturday and overlapped to this Sunday (but you can’t see the start time) we will not clear that shift.

However, if there’s a shift that starts this Saturday and overlaps to the next week on Sunday, it WILL clear that shift because you can see the start of the shift.

Deleting the schedule for a day

You can also clear the schedule for just a specific day by clicking on a Day header.
