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

1

Open the roster

Go to Duty Plans and open the roster you want to change.
2

Switch to edit mode

Select Edit from the action menu (or the Edit button if shown).
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.
Conflict checks in edit mode are advisory. You can save a roster with flagged conflicts, but doing so may breach your scheduling policy. Review every warning before saving.

​
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.
