Drag-and-Drop Operations in the Function Space Diary

The user can perform the drag-and-drop operations in both the Sales/Execution view and the Revenue Management view of the diary. The following examples illustrate typical drag-and-drop operations.

Dragging a Booking to a Different Time, Different Function Space

The user can drag the booking to a different time, drag the booking within the same time period to a different function space, or drag the booking to a new function space at a different time. While moving the booking, the user can drag and scroll at the same time.

Specific Space Booking Conversion to Category Booking

If the user wants to convert a specific space booking into a category booking, the user can drag the specific space booking and position it on the category bar. If possible, the booking is temporarily assigned and shown against the specific space. If the booking is not assigned, it still appears under the category bar.

Category Booking Conversion to Specific Space

Temporarily Assigned category bookings can be converted to specific space by dragging and dropping the category bookings to the same spot or by selecting the booking and right-clicking the mouse. Category Overflow bookings dragged to a specific space are automatically converted to a specific space.

Option and Overbooking on a Specific Space

If a specific space booking is dragged to another booking (a specific space or a dependency), a dialog box appears notifying the user that the selected function space time conflicts with an existing booking. Users can choose to change the booking to an option, overbook, or cancel the change by clicking the appropriate buttons (Overbook, Option, Cancel) in the dialog box.

Optioning and Overbooking on a Category

The user can pick up a booking and place it on the category bar. If possible, the booking is automatically reserved and assigned. If the booking cannot be reserved, a dialog box appears providing the user with the option of Overbooking, Optioning, or Canceling the booking.

Swapping Specific Spaces

If the user wants to swap specific spaces, for example swapping spaces A and B, the user drags space A onto space B. Space B becomes either optioned or overbooked. The user then drags space B to the place on the Gantt chart previously occupied by space A.

Setup Style Conflict

If the user drags a booking onto a specific space that does not accommodate the booking's setup style, the following message appears:

Invalid combination of function space and setup style.

Turntime Conflict

If a user drags a booking with a turntime that overlaps with the turntime of another booking, the following message appears:

This booking has created a turntime conflict.

User Cannot Drag a Booking to a Bar with No Function Space

The user cannot drag a booking to a position that has no y-axis bar.
