Retired Channel Schedules

Retiring a channel schedule template deactivates it — no new session instances will be generated from it, and it no longer appears in the active session list on the Channel Schedule Management screen. Retired schedules are not deleted; they can be viewed and restored if needed.

When to Retire a Schedule

  • A consultant has permanently left the hospital
  • A clinic type has been discontinued
  • A session has been replaced by a new schedule with updated settings
  • A session was created in error

Navigation

Menu → Channelling → Channel Scheduling → Retired Channel Schedules

Requires the ChannelSheduleManagement privilege.

Retiring a Schedule

  1. Go to Channel Schedule Management.
  2. Select the speciality, consultant, and session to retire.
  3. Click the Retire button (or the equivalent deactivation control).
  4. Confirm the action.

The schedule is marked as retired and disappears from the active session list. Any session instances already generated from this schedule before retirement remain intact and are not affected.

Viewing Retired Schedules

The Retired Channel Schedules page lists all schedule templates that have been retired, showing:

Restoring a Retired Schedule

To reactivate a retired schedule:

  1. Open Retired Channel Schedules.
  2. Select the schedule to restore.
  3. Click Restore (or the equivalent reinstate button).
  4. Confirm.

The schedule returns to the active list in Channel Schedule Management. Future session instances will be generated from it again according to its recurrence rule. To generate instances for the gap period while it was retired, use the Generate Instances function in Channel Session Management.
