Schedule conflict validation

Manual schedule conflict warnings and assignment review

A manager can change a schedule by hand—but a manual edit can still create a clash. ElShift checks supported changes before applying them, so the manager can review warnings first.

In short

Yes. ElShift checks supported assignments, removals, shift clearing, and template changes against the schedule. It blocks invalid changes; reviewable warnings can be overridden by a manager, and the override is recorded.

See a conflict before the edit takes effect

When a manager assigns or removes someone, clears a shift, or makes a supported template change, ElShift checks the result first.

Invalid changes are blocked. If the change triggers a reviewable scheduling warning, the manager can decide whether to continue.

Review the rules that matter to the schedule

Warnings can cover leave, disliked days or shifts, work patterns, weekly-hour limits, rest between shifts, shift transitions, location settings, staffing minimums, and overall coverage.

Keep the manager's decision visible

Some warnings can be overridden by a manager; invalid schedule states cannot. When a manager continues past a reviewable warning, ElShift records that decision.

FAQ

Common questions

Does ElShift warn about conflicts when a manager edits a schedule manually?

Yes. It checks supported changes against the schedule, blocks invalid results, and shows reviewable warnings before a manager can continue.

Can a manager override every warning?

No. ElShift distinguishes reviewable policy exceptions from physical integrity failures. Integrity failures are blocked and cannot be overridden through the normal manual-edit review flow.
