Check Conflicts Customization

[Matt Franki]

I am trying to get my conflict checker to check against already scheduled changes. I know there is an option but since the Planned Start/End Dates are set to Date/Time, a change has to be at the same EXACT time to throw a conflict. Here is what I'm asking:

1) Is there a way to change that field type to just date? I've tried but there is no option for just DATE in the Configure Dictionary menu.

2) Can I make it so that if I schedule a change for 11/20 - 11/22 and another for 11/19-11/23, a conflict will show up in the table? I basically want a conflict thrown every time two changes overlap in some capacity.

Thanks!

Thanks, I checked and this does work. Following up on question 1 though, "Is there a way to change that field type to just date? I've tried but there is no option for just DATE in the Configure Dictionary menu."

You'll want to create new fields versus changing out of the box fields.   Besides, I don't think you can change the format from date/time to date.

So when I created my own Date fields, I changed the name of the fields in the Check Conflict UI Action script to the new field names (the ones I created). The Check Conflict feature would not work with my substituted field names. Any other script or action I would need to change for that to work?

I know there are several Script Includes that are part of Conflict Catcher.
