Block overlapping assignments | Allows blocking of assignments if the resources are overlapping. Note that this does not apply to flexible departures as those block whole days by default. |
Unavailabilities delete conflicting previously made assignments | Enable automatic deletion of any previously created assignments if an unavailability period is scheduled for the resource at that time. |
Show departures without shift location associated in resource manager | By default, only departures which have a shift location associated are available in Resource Manager. This is to ensure that only the operational departures are used for assignments. In case you don't have a shift scheduling system connected to PaxFlow, then all departures are displayed in the Resource Manager. |
