WARNING: If bookings overlap, the text in the boxes may be jumbled. When you click the overlapped area, only the booking details of the earliest booking for that area will be available. Overlapping occurs when bookings conflict or when a booking ends and another starts within the same time slot (e.g., one booking ends at 10:05 and another starts at 10:10, while the time slot covers 10:00 to 10:15).  Also, when two conflicting bookings end or start in the same time slot they may appear to be two adjacent non-conflicting bookings. When precise information on bookings is needed, click the Browse button to call the Browse Bookings window or use a horizontal scan format.  See: Horizontal vs Vertical Display Format. for more information.
