Warn user when location/resource is not selected for all dates
If a user makes an event that has multiple dates, there should be a warning when a location is not selected for all of them. We request an option to have a “smart audit” where at the end when you submit a request, if you request a date but it doesn’t have a location selected for one of the dates, a warning comes up stating that a location wasn’t chosen for xyz date. Almost like when you send an email stating that you have attached something but nothing is attached and it catches that.

Michele CooperThis would help when a requestor puts in recurring dates and a couple of them are not available, but because the requestor was able to submit their reservation, they assume all the dates were available, when in reality the system assigned only the dates without a conflict.

Pat LewisWe have a current situation where a user requested a location with multiple date occurrences and several of those dates are not available, however, the system saved the event. I 'm sure the user assumes that all dates in her reservation are available. This alert would assist in warning the requestor of conflicts within the reservation for review and save me, the scheduler the back end consequences of convincing the user of his/her mistake and giving them one more reason to complain about using 25live.

Brian WilsonI will echo the comments above. This is confusing to the end-user who does not understand that their requested location is not available for all of their dates. Because the system saves the request with no location assigned in those instances, the requestor is left thinking that their submission was accepted. Adding to the frustration, we cannot go in and assign an available space (line-by-line) to any of those dates where the original space was unavailable. Not only should there be a warning to the requestor, there should be an ability to search and assign other locations for any dates with conflicts within the same booking.

Pamela MasonI like this for our none power users, it would be nice to be able to turn this on and off by security group so added to the config of the Event Form. Our power users that understand 25Live well would hate having to go over this every time.

Walt M (CollegeNET) AdminCurrently in the works... If the Location or Resource field is required on the event form configuration, this will translate to a location (or resource, depending on the required field) being required on every occurrence.
