2.5.2.1. Time Conflicts

The scenario in this section illustrates what happens when the administrator is editing a schedule in Section 2.5 and creates a time conflict.

The user starts with the screen below in Figure 1.


Figure 1: Schedule editing with STAFF in Instructor section.


When the user chooses an Instructor that creates a time conflict, or chooses a Start Time, End Time, and Days combination that creates a time conflict, a dialogue appears notifying them of the conflict.

This is shown below in Figure 2 when the user enters Staley, Clinton in the Instructor box.


Figure 2: Time conflict created, that instructor is already occupied at that time.


The same conflict message above is displayed when the administrator chooses a Start Time, End Time, and Days combination that creates a time conflict.

The scheduler program does not allow manual edits that create conflicts. The admin must click Close and go edit Clint Staley's class from 8-9am in schedule editing or the admin can change the administrator preference settings and generate a new schedule.
