Understanding Booking Conflicts

​

How Conflicts Are Detected

• Resource Double-Booking: Multiple bookings for the same aircraft, simulator, or classroom at overlapping times
• Participant Conflicts: The same person assigned to multiple bookings at overlapping times
• Resource Unavailability: Bookings scheduled when a resource is grounded or under maintenance

​

   • Look for the red conflict indicator in the timetable toolbar
   • The badge shows the total number of active conflicts
2. Visual Booking Indicators
