The situation

Trailhead detects that a selected person cannot cover the booking range. The conflict blocks the invalid team while Ops and the manager choose a valid alternative.

What starts it

Trailhead flags a conflict while Ops assembles a booking team.

How it unfolds

OperationsManagerSystem
  1. 1

    Trailhead compares the selection with existing assignments

    System

    The complete CIS date range is checked for overlapping work.

  2. 2

    The team editor shows the blocking conflict

    System

    This is the key moment: the invalid commitment cannot be added as though it were only a warning.

  3. 3

    Ops pauses the invalid team addition

    Operations

    Protected assignment history remains unchanged.

  4. 4

    The manager reviews the conflict and passenger preference

    Manager

    Client preference informs the decision but never overrides availability.

  5. 5

    Ops chooses another eligible person or staffing plan

    Operations

    Resolution changes the proposed team rather than rewriting existing work.

  6. 6

    Trailhead rechecks and accepts the valid team

    System

    The branch rejoins team construction only after availability passes.

Who's involved

Operations

Stops the invalid addition and chooses a workable person.

Manager

Balances the conflict with the requested-guide context.

System

Blocks overlap and rechecks the replacement choice.

What each person sees

Operations

A blocking conflict beside the selected person

Why: Avoid saving an impossible commitment.

Manager

Conflict details and requested-guide context

Why: Choose the best valid staffing alternative.

The rule to remember

An availability conflict blocks the team; passenger preference cannot override it.
