Overview

The staff status system in Phyzioline manages whether staff members are Active or Inactive in your clinic. This allows you to temporarily deactivate staff without permanently deleting them.

How Staff Status Works

Status Types:

• ✅ Active - Staff member is currently working and can access the system
• ❌ Inactive - Staff member is temporarily deactivated (on leave, terminated, etc.)

Where Status is Stored:

• Status is managed in the clinic_staff table via the is_active field
• This is separate from the users table to allow multi-clinic scenarios
