14.1 sp102_activity_conflicts

This table is used to determine how the system should handle an activity when it is first input or when it is modified such that it overlaps (i.e. is concurrent with) another activity for the same employee. The way in which two such "conflicting" activities are resolved depends on the type of the existing activity and of the newly input (or newly modified) activity. The options are either to allow the overlap; or to warn the user of the existing activity and prompt him to confirm the details of the new activity; or to forbid the overlap.
