## How Conflicts Are Detected

The system continuously monitors for these types of conflicts:

* **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

## Identifying Conflicts

1. **Red Conflict Button**
   * Look for the red conflict indicator in the timetable toolbar
   * The badge shows the total number of active conflicts

2. **Visual Booking Indicators**
   * Conflicted bookings display a red border
   * Warning triangle icon appears on affected booking cards

## Resolving Conflicts

### Method 1: Using the Conflicts Panel

1. **Open Conflicts Panel**
   * Click the red conflict button in the timetable toolbar
   * View the list of all active conflicts with details

2. **Locate Specific Conflicts**
   * Click on any conflict in the list
   * The timetable automatically highlights involved bookings
   * Conflicted bookings pulse with a red glow

3. **Move Bookings**
   * Drag and drop conflicted bookings to new time slots
   * Hold Shift while dragging to snap to :00 and :30 intervals
   * The conflict disappears automatically when resolved

### Method 2: Direct Resolution

1. **Edit Booking Times**
   * Click on a conflicted booking
   * Click the edit time icon (clock)
   * Modify start and/or end times to eliminate overlap

2. **Change Resources**
   * Edit the booking and select a different available resource
   * Ensure the new resource is available for the entire duration

3. **Modify Participants**
   * For participant conflicts, edit one booking
   * Remove the conflicted participant or assign to different bookings

## Real-Time Updates

The conflicts system provides immediate feedback:

* **Live Detection**: New conflicts appear instantly when created
* **Auto-Resolution**: Conflicts disappear immediately when resolved
* **Counter Updates**: The conflict badge count updates in real-time
* **Success Notifications**: Toast messages confirm when conflicts are resolved

## Prevention Tips

* Always check resource availability before creating bookings
* Review the conflict indicator after making schedule changes
* Use the conflicts panel for daily schedule reviews
* Coordinate with other schedulers to avoid creating new conflicts

The conflicts system ensures your timetable remains organized and prevents double-booking issues that could disrupt operations.
