Task Conflicts
On Work Center view, the summary bar displays all operation tasks assigned to a work center. The summary bar can display a task conflict in red, if two or more overlapping tasks exceed the total working hours per day.
The sample screenshot shows overlapping tasks in conflict for April 8 and 9, but not for April 10. This is derived by comparing the duration of all tasks for a certain day against the total working hours allotted for the work center.
The following table shows the duration or working hours for each task and the total duration per day. You can see how the overlapping tasks are shown as such in the summary bar. For April 8 and 9, the total task duration exceeds the allotted 8 working hours for Work Center 3.
Work Center 3: Total working hours per day = 8.
