Resolve Scheduling Conflicts for a Group Itinerary
When you schedule a group itinerary by loading a track or copying another itinerary, you may encounter schedule conflicts, resource conflicts, or other availability issues. For example, if you load a track that contains an event that is not available on the day of the itinerary, the event is not scheduled. Instead, a placeholder for the event is displayed on the itinerary.
If conflicts exist for an itinerary, an exclamation point appears on the Itineraries tab. To clearly identify the non-scheduled items from those that were successfully scheduled, a red placeholder items appears on the itinerary with a “NOT ADDED” description. To resolve this type of issue, you select the non-scheduled item and select Schedule missing event.
Note: As an alternative, you can always delete a non-scheduled item from the itinerary to remove the conflict and add a new event, program, or item as needed.
There are multiple situations that could cause a conflict or scheduling issue when loading a track or copying an itinerary. The following table provides a description of each issue and the suggested resolution.
