General Settings: Conflicts on Events

Understand and select your desired settings for handling event conflicts, based on your organizational needs!

• Conflicts for spaces, resources and services that are already booked for another event for the same time and day are shown on the Occurrence tab of the event. 
• Conflicts for "Availability Schedules", "Space Restrictions" and "Closures" are shown next to the individually selected spaces, resources and services on the Items tab.

Prevent ALL USERS (Including Admins) from Submitting a Conflicting Event

• When you have this setting enabled, ALL users (including admins) will not be able to select the blue "Submit Event" button for any events with conflicts. The event will remain in "draft status" until all conflicts are resolved. 
• If this setting is NOT enabled, then admins will be able to override conflicts for double bookings, "Availability Schedules", "Closures", and "Space Restrictions", however once approved, the event will have a status of "Approved with Conflicts". 
• If you do NOT have this setting enabled, then all conflicts for all users' events (users, sub-admins, admins) will be displayed within the "Conflicts" grid on your dashboard.  
  • Within the Items tab on the event, there will be a "See Conflicts" next to the conflicted items, with a hyperlink to the other events that have already reserved those items during that same date and time period for all occurrences. 
  • Conflicts will also be displayed within the Occurrences tab on events. They can then click "See All Conflicts" to see which items are conflicted within occurrences.
  • Within the occurrence, you can click on "Conflicted" and view what other events are already requesting that item for that same time and day.

Prevent User & Sub-Admins from Submitting a Conflicting Event

• When this setting is enabled, users and sub-admins will not be able to select the blue "Submit Event" button for any events with conflicts. The event will remain in "draft status" until all conflicts are resolved. 
• If you do NOT have this setting enabled, then all conflicts for your event (users and sub-admins) will be displayed within the "Conflicts" grid on your dashboard.
  • Within the Items tab on the event, there will be a "See Conflicts" next to the conflicted items, with a hyperlink to the other events that have already reserved those items during that same date and time period for all occurrences. 
  • Conflicts will also be displayed within the Occurrences tab on events. They can then click "See All Conflicts" to see which items are conflicted within occurrences.
  • Within the occurrence, you can click on "Conflicted" and view what other events are already requesting that item for that same time and day.

Check Conflicts at the Location Level

• If you have multiple locations for your organization and would like to show event conflicts across locations, go HERE. For example, let's say you have a women's event on a Saturday morning at the main campus; however, you have another women's event at the east campus during the same date and time. You may want to show location conflicts here so that an attendee doesn't have to choose between the two events that are scheduled.
