===Introduction===

Conflicts provide a way in which the scheduling engine will protect related products from appearing close to one another on the Log. For example, you might not want car dealerships to run back to back (or very close) to one another. This protection works on a [Contract] by Contract basis and is in addition to [Customer] separation.

==Conflict==

===Introduction===

Clicking on the New button in conflicts or Left click "File" in the main menu and click "New" brings up the conflict window.


===Usage===

<center>[image||{UP}Conflicts/conflict3.gif]</center>

The above window shows what will be displayed when you create a new ''conflict''.

====Name====

The ''name'' field should be populated with something meaningful representing the category of advertising that will be used in order to determine whether a conflict occurs in an effort to create a reasonable separation buffer.

====Separation====

When the spots are scheduled on the [Log], several rules are evaluated in order to create / enforce the space between various scheduled items.  Two of these rules are based on ''Conflict'' (Primary and Secondary - defined on the [Contract]).  When evaluating the primary and/or secondary conflicts, the type of separation defined for the individual ''Conflict'' is evaluated and there are three basic types:

'''None'''

When the separation method is set to ''None'', the primary/secondary conflict evaluation are skipped during the automatic placement process on the [Log].

'''Minutes'''

A separation method of ''Minutes'' requires defining how many minutes will be used in determining how far apart similar items (with the same ''conflict'') can be placed.  Keep in mind that the amount of time is on both sides of the item being placed compared to both sides of other items already placed.

'''Avails'''

Separation method of ''Avails'' requires specifying the number of avails between similar items (with the same ''conflict'').
