SimCapture alerts you when scheduling conflicts occur. These warnings help prevent accidental double-booking of locations and equipment. Review the warning before saving the reservation and determine whether the conflict should be resolved or intentionally overridden.

Reservation Conflicts

If a reservation overlaps (same time and location), a warning appears.

• Calendar Administrators can override conflicts and double-book if needed.

What causes a reservation conflict?

A reservation conflict can occur when:

• Two reservations use the same location during overlapping times.
• A reservation is edited and now overlaps with an existing reservation.
• A new reservation is created for a location that is already booked.

What should I do?

1. Review the conflicting reservation.
2. Adjust the date, time, or location if needed.
3. If the overlap is intentional, a Calendar Administrator can override the warning and save the reservation.

Equipment Conflicts

Warnings appear when reserving equipment already in use.

Examples

Best Practices

• Review all warnings before saving a reservation.
• Confirm that locations and equipment are truly available.
• Avoid overriding conflicts unless simultaneous use is intended.
• Coordinate with faculty and staff when double-booking locations or equipment.
