Conflict Handling

Movie Magic Scheduling automatically reviews scheduled Strips and Events across all Segments in each Stripboard and warns you if an Element is scheduled in two or more conflicting items. Click the Element, Strip, or Event identified in the Conflict to be navigated to that part of the Schedule.

Conflicts appear:

  • In the Global Conflict flyout for the current Stripboard (top right of the screen)
  • As a conflict icon on the day in the Calendar
  • As a conflict icon on the Strip (if applicable) in the Stripboard
  • As a conflict icon on the day cell for the Element in the DOOD

Clicking any of these icons gives you details about why the system marked it as a conflict. Conflicts are strictly an alert to help you make decisions for your project. The system does not enforce that you change your Schedule. Conflicts can occur if:

  • The Element is scheduled in Strips and an Event on the same day
  • The Element is scheduled in Strips in two different Segments on the same day
  • The Element is scheduled in two different Events on the same day

Note: Conflicts are only managed on a given Stripboard and its Segments and do not display between different Stripboards.
