Problem Definition

When events with multiple sessions that take place over a period of one year. There's a chance that a user has a scheduling conflict with a seminar in another course.

At this moment they find only one way to work around this issue and that is by manually enrolling users into the sessions and allowing scheduling conflicts on enrollment. However this causes the following issue:

When they add or edit items in the session, they can not save it. Because users have a scheduling conflict and the system is no longer able to work around that. They have to go through a lot of manual administration to fix this. E.g.:

• cancel the adjustment
• remove the participants with the conflict from the session (This adjusts the original registration date, which gives a distorted picture)
• make the adjustment in the seminar
• re-enroll the users manually and allowing the scheduling conflicts (which again gives a distorted picture of the actual enrollment date).

Suggested Solution

We would like to be able to allow scheduling conflicts on a seminar level, to be able to decide per seminar activity whether it's allowed to have a scheduling conflict with another seminar.
