Skedulo helps to identify cases where schedules are created that are invalid because they are impractical. For example, if they require a single resource to be in two physical locations at the same time or a job that is dependent on another is scheduled to occur first.
When these schedule conflicts or exceptions occur, alerts are shown in the web app to help schedulers to identify and rectify them. The rules and exception alerts that can be found in the web app are summarized in the table below.

Skedulo Pulse Platform users can make use of the Rules service for additional schedule conflict management capabilities.
