Editing a published roster

Real life happens. A doctor calls in sick, an emergency comes up, or you simply want to swap a couple of assignments around. PlanMyRounds has a manual edit mode for exactly these moments — you don’t need to regenerate the whole roster.

​

Open the edit view

The edit view shows a calendar with drag-and-drop. Doctors are listed in a panel on the left — drag any name onto a shift cell to assign them.

​

Make changes

Every change is tracked in real time. An undo button lets you step back through recent edits before saving.

​

Watch for conflicts

As you make changes, PlanMyRounds checks for scheduling conflicts — for example:

• Assigning a doctor who has approved leave on that date.
• Putting a doctor on back-to-back shifts without the required rest.
• Going over the maximum consecutive working days.

Conflicts appear in a panel on the right side of the screen, with the date and reason for each one.

​

Save your changes

Select Save to confirm. The roster updates immediately. Changes to a published roster do not change its status — it stays visible to the team, with the new assignments shown to everyone, including viewers of the public share link.
