Conflict Detection

Person Trail prevents double-booking the same crew member for overlapping time slots. No more calling someone only to find out they're already on another job.

How It Works

When you assign a crew member to a job, Person Trail checks their existing schedule. If they already have a job that overlaps with the new time slot, you'll see a conflict warning before the assignment goes through.

This check runs for both:

• Manual assignment -- When you pick a crew member from the dropdown
• Auto-assignment -- Crew members with conflicts are excluded from recommendations automatically

What You See

If a conflict is detected during manual assignment, a warning appears showing:

• The conflicting job name
• The overlapping time window
• The option to proceed anyway or choose a different crew member

Resolving Conflicts

To resolve a scheduling conflict:

• Reschedule one of the overlapping jobs to a different time
• Reassign one of the jobs to a different crew member
• Override the warning if you know the crew member can handle both (for example, if jobs are at the same location)
