Shifts - Cancel or Modify a Request once Approved
Allow the user to cancel or modify a request once approved. For example - when a user have had a holiday/vacation approved and then needs to switch days.

Insane that this is not fixed yet. This is a VERY BASIC function as requests change dates.

I would like to implement shift with my team, but I am seeing that many have the same issue that I am having. I am the owner and am unable to remove an approved request. Will there be an update or not. I see this has been an issue for quite some time with no action taken.

Our team uses Shifts for vacation tracking only. This option would be very helpful for us as each user would then be able to amend their own time off - instead of their manager or making them all Owners in the Team. Currently our workaround is to set up another team and give everyone on our team Owner status. It would be much easier to just enable an option that lets team members edit Time Off.

I agree. This needs to be added ASAP. It is stressing our staff thinking they are going to be losing vacation hours they didn't take.

I see comments dating back to 2019. How is it that i am the owner of the schedule and i cannot remove approved time off? Is there an update that will be coming to fix this issue?

Users need options to cancel or modify request once approved as schedules change quickly nowadays.

Why can’t I delete my vacation time in Shifts if I need to change the dates? This is absurd

Still no update on this? Also, when asking for a shift swap, it only allows you to select a day. Sometimes you need to request a full 4/5 days shift swap, there should be a way to allow you to select the range of dates that you want to swap or even offer. Bit like it is with the time off request.

Agreed, modifying submitted requests is essential to the review and approval of staff requests in Shifts.

The work around is to post an open shift and have the employee whos vacation was cancelled pick up that shift

All user to cancel or modify shift request once approved. We are implementing post covid back to building project and users can request to come to the building with limited slots. Want to see an option for user to cancel /modify the request. Especially we have 600 staff and somebody like manager these requests will be overwhelming. This is very important for anyone who is getting ready to implement Shifts.

having the ability to cancel a time off request is helpful for staff who change their mind. Keeping the cancelled request for history and WHO cancelled it for manager protection will also be helpful

We found a nice article to use shifts to manage workers at the office with the covid-19 pandemic.(https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/team-management-op-lokaties-erik-radix/)
It lets you use shifts to let people plan theirself a workspace at the office with social distancing when you are not able to use the whole office, but just a few spots a day.
BUT if you want to change or cancel a day, you can only do this when switching it to another person of switch with another day.
Which is with reservations for a workplace not always necessary....so we stopped using it because when someone gets sick (they are not allowed to come to the office) and they need to cancel their shift so another person might wanna take this seat (or not), we want the shift to become available and not given to someone.Missed chance this option is not available!! After pandemic shifts are not needed for us, so if you want organisations to work with shifts (even if they don't have shifts at work) this is the time to get the creative organisations work with stuff like shifts. It could be very handy to use with hybrid working and less spaces than people.
Even in the feature working at home can be more popular, managers can make the workspaces smaller/less and than shifts can help to fill workspaces. It could be a great tool for that.
