Event Conflicts

When an event record is saved the system automatically checks all meetings for any conflicts due to room or resource assignments or other scheduling problems created by setup and teardown times or other related activities associated with meetings.  This validation check can be invoked manually at any time while working on an event.  This can be handy when editing a complex event to help make sure that everything created is fitting in as intended. 

To invoke the event validation and conflict checking utility, click Check for Conflicts at the top of the event form while editing an event.

If conflicts are detected, you will be prompted to either resolve the scheduling conflicts by selecting different rooms or return to the meeting list to resolve the conflicts through date/time edits.

When returning to the meeting list, the meetings with conflicts are highlighted and a warning icon is displayed.  Hover over the icon to view the activity in conflict as shown below.
