Shift filter – the Shifts tab defaults to Active and future shifts. Shifts that have already ended will not appear unless the filter is changed.
Original shift record – migrating does not delete the original shift. It ends the original on the day before the selected start date and creates a separate new record. Both records remain visible in the Shifts tab.
New shift record – the newly created shift has its own Edit, Migrate, and Delete actions. The original shift retains only Edit and Migrate.
