Where will the Warning Messages be displayed?
There are three different places where Warning Messages can be displayed - the Side Bar Breakdown, the Booking Form, and the Send Modal.
1. Side Bar Breakdown: If you select “Pre-Check”, you will receive information about errors in real-time in the Side Bar Breakdown (circled in red below)
2. Booking Form: If you click on an individual row and there is a Warning Message, it will appear under the status bar at the top of the page. You will see the type of warning (circled in red below)
3. Send Modal: All selected items will be listed out. If you hover over an item, you can view the specific errors for an individual item (circled in red below)
What happens if I don’t fix an error?
If you do not fix an error, you can still send a plan. It is strongly advised that you double check your work to make sure everything in the order is accurate.
Can I still send a plan if there is a Warning Message?
Yes, you can still send a plan if there is a Warning Message. These Warning Messages are intended to act as reminders to check work.
How do I know which rotations the Warning Messages apply to?
In the Side Bar Breakdown, if you click on an individual Warning Message, only the rotations or bookings that the Warning Message pertains to will appear in the booking list.
What happens after I resolve an error?
Once an error is fixed, the campaign will be removed from the warning section of the Side Bar Breakdown as well as the booking list that displays all current errors.
How do I learn more information about a certain Warning Message?
In the Side Bar Breakdown, if you hover over the name of an individual Warning Message, a description of the warning will appear.
