Auto Resolve: Automatically Resolve Schedule Conflicts
Auto Resolve helps fix schedule conflicts after a schedule has been created. Instead of rebuilding your schedule, Auto Resolve reviews conflicts and adjusts only the games that need changes based on your selected settings.
If your site has the new AI Auto Resolve functionality enabled, Auto Resolve will use the enhanced AI resolver automatically. Sites without this functionality will continue using the existing Auto Resolve process.
Note: AI Auto Resolve is currently in BETA, If you are interested in adding AI Auto Resolve please contact us at support@teamsideline.com
What Auto Resolve Fixes
Auto Resolve can resolve:
- Team schedule conflicts – Teams or coaches assigned to multiple games at the same time.
- Location conflicts – Fields or facilities scheduled for multiple games at the same time.
- Multi-team coach conflicts – Coaches assigned to multiple teams playing at the same time.
Auto Resolve only adjusts games with conflicts based on your settings. It does not rebuild your entire schedule.
