What Changed and Where It Lives

Red Flags and Conflicts

Movie Magic Scheduling 10 tracks two scheduling problems with two separate markers. A Red Flag marks an element as unavailable on a given day. A Conflict marks an active element scheduled on the same shooting day across two or more Sub-Boards. See Red Flag.

The standard Red Flag view on the Calendar restores the behavior from Movie Magic Scheduling 6, where the calendar surfaced only the days a flagged element was actually scheduled.

Movie Magic Scheduling 10 allows more than one Red Flag on an element on the same day. Movie Magic Scheduling 6 allowed only one.
