Overview of Date and Time Changes for Functions

Whenever the user changes the values for Start Time, Duration, Date, and Day #, and attempts to save the function record, a message provides a suggested course of action.

Users can configure the application to eliminate the reminder dialog box, or they can set up a process that automatically checks availability. See the procedure to configure availability status checking later in this topic for more information.

When the user sees the following message, the user can proceed with the reservation by clicking OK.

Function parameters have changed. Would you like to check availability with new parameters?

Two results are possible after the availability check:

  • The function space is still available with the updated parameters (Date, Start Time, or Duration) and the function space is automatically reserved with the new value. The Inventory Status is set to Reserved, and the updated parameters are saved.

  • The reservation is not possible, and the user sees the following message:

    The availability check has failed. Click OK to save, or Cancel to undo.

If the user clicks OK, the updated parameter remains, and the Inventory Status becomes Unreserved. If the user selects Cancel, the original parameters are restored and the Inventory Status remains as Reserved.

To configure availability status checking

  1. Log in to Siebel Tools as an administrator.

  2. In the Object Explorer, navigate to Applet.

  3. Query for the appropriate function or room block applet (for example TNT SHM Functions List Applet or TNT SHM Room Blocks List Applet).

  4. From the Tools menu, choose Tools, Applet, and then the Applet User Prop menu item.

  5. Query for the Check Availability Status User.

  6. In the Value field, enter the appropriate information.

    • If you do not enter any value for this field, the reminder dialog box is displayed to the user.

    • If you enter Yes as the value, the automatic availability check is performed and no reminder dialog box is displayed.

    • If you enter No as the value, no reminder dialog box is displayed and no automatic availability check is performed.

  7. Recompile and replace the SRF.
