Method and System for Concurrent Error Identification in Resource Scheduling
First Claim
1. A method for performing complex resource scheduling of many resources, the method comprising:
- analyzing resource scheduling data for resource scheduling conflicts;
generating at least one resource scheduling conflict based on the analyzed resource scheduling data; and
generating a schedule based on the resource scheduling data without resolving the at least one resource scheduling conflict.

Abstract
A method and system for handling real-time indications of resource scheduling conflicts. In one embodiment, the method includes a computer system including a user interface, display, processor, and some form of memory. Contained within the memory is a resource scheduling process that analyzes resource data, scheduling criteria, and work parameters to create a working schedule. In conjunction with the creation of a working schedule, the scheduling process detects resource conflicts that can inhibit the schedule'"'"'s functionality. Once detected an identification process conveys the error to the user concurrently with the schedule process to provide the user with a real-time indication of resource conflicts. The indication is presented in an unobtrusive manner so as to not interfere or impede the scheduling process. In addition, should the specific resource causing the conflict be identifiable, the indication process conveys that information in a similar real-time methodology.
