To identify a clash on the timetable view:

• Open the required event. See Open an Existing Event for further information.

  

  Clashing resources, such as courses, staff or rooms will be displayed with a red border. The week slots which have a clash will also display a red border; this is because a clash can occur on just some weeks of an event rather than the full event.

You can sort the list of clashes displayed by clicking on any of the column headings. Clicking once will sort the list in descending order, and clicking twice will sort in ascending order.

You can choose whether or not to display individual columns by right-clicking on the column heading row and selecting/deselecting the check boxes alongside each column title in the resulting panel.

You can also re-size the width of the columns by placing the cursor over the dividing line between them in the heading row. When in this position the cursor will become a horizontal double-headed arrow. If you now hold down the left mouse-button and drag the dividing line left or right it will change the column width.
