This article will show you how you can archive an active staff member in your Phorest system.
There are a few steps to completely removing a staff member from Phorest. You will need to remove their access, delete their roster, reschedule any existing appointments, and then finally archive them from the system. Each of these steps is described below.
Note: You cannot permanently remove a staff profile as it is linked to historic data within your system, i.e financial sales, service history, etc.
