Event Conflicts

[KGlennC]

How can one be made aware of scheduling conflicts? Often I schedule a
Meeting, Task or Call for the future without actually going to the day/time
for which I want to schedule the event to see if I have something scheduled
for that specific date/time. (Current ACT! user; ACT! does that automatically
for me).

In testing, this I scheduled a Meeting from 6:00pm-6:30pm. I then scheduled
another Meeting from 6:00pm-7:30pm. Both Meetings had the time marked as
Busy. No notification of this conflict was noted.

I assume this behavior is similar with Meeting vs. Call, Meeting vs. Task,
Call vs. Call, etc.

I am a single user so I don't believe the Resource scheduling aspect
pertains to my situation. This attribute is fairly important to me as I tend
to have to reschedule events on a regular basis.

Thanks.

I added a 3rd Meeting to the same time frame... still no alert or
notification.
