Configure Double Booking of Interviewers

You can configure the application to allow multiple interviews to be scheduled for the same interviewer at the same date and time.

Here are scenarios of double booking:

Scenario 1 - Double booking is prevented: John and Mary are booked for an interview on April 14, from 9 am to 10 am. The user tries to schedule Mary for another interview scheduled on April 14, from 9:30 am to 10:30 am. An error message is displayed indicating that the user can’t schedule the interview at that time because one of the interviewer has an interview already scheduled.

Scenario 2 - Double booking is allowed: John and Mary are booked for an interview on April 14, from 9 am to 10 am. The user tries to schedule Mary for another interview scheduled on April 14, from 9:30 am to 10:30 am. No error message is displayed, double booking isn't prevented.
