We have added a new warning system to help prevent resource over allocation when you double book a resource member. This innovative addition empowers you to proactively prevent resource overallocation through a new scheduling conflict warning pop up.

Once enabled it puts you in control of the the team getting overbooked by different project managers. This option allows you to display a warning pop-up whenever you’re on the verge of overbooking a resource during the scheduling process. This simple, yet powerful feature serves as a crucial checkpoint, helping you make informed decisions while assigning tasks to your team members. When you think about it, the over scheduling warning not only prevents over allocation but also safeguards project timelines, and overall resource productivity.

How It Works

Imagine this scenario: You’re scheduling your project, and allocation a booking to a booking to a resource. In this particular view, you can’t see what other projects they are booked on. It’s easy to overlook the cumulative workload of your team. With the over scheduling display warning active, Hub Planner has your back. The system analyzes your resource’s current workload and availability, comparing it with the new bookings you’re assigning. If there’s a potential conflict that could lead to overallocation, a warning pop-up will promptly notify you. Decide to accept or reject.
