Warnings

On this page the warning system in the web app is described.

The old C# alert system, which is being decommissioned, is documented here.

Summary

Warnings in the web app are visible in:

• The screenings in the daily schema to which warnings apply
• The Warnings view
• The floating Warning Statistics mini-view

The next chapter gives an overview of the different warnings.

Warning types

Here, the different warning types are explained. They fall into three categories, indicated by symbols as displayed in the table below.

Warning categories

Below, the warning categories that have been defined are listed.

Warnings can be fixed in the Screening Details view or in the Warnings view.

Warning category	Symbol	Wording example in category color	Remarks
Attendance warning	⛔	$\color{rgb(255, 38, 0)} {\textsf{John attends overlapping}}$	Important to fix because they mostly indicate impossible situations
Ticket buy sell warning	$\color{rgb(255, 127, 0)} {\textsf{!}}$	$\color{rgb(255, 127, 0)} {\textsf{Paul needs a ticket}}$	The film fan needs actively fix these situations: attending a screening but having no ticket, or having a ticket but not attending
Ticket confirmation warning	$\color{rgb(255, 219, 0)} {\textsf{?}}$	$\color{rgb(255, 219, 0)} {\textsf{Janis awaits confirmation}}$	A bit more passive for the fan since only waiting till a ticket is confirmed is required

In the Day Schema, screenings are being visualized.

If warnings apply to a screening, the warning categories are displayed on the second line of the screening representation. Clicking on the warning part will open the Warnings view.

Also, on the left of the top line of the screening representation, a warning triangle ⚠︎ appears. When hovering over the triangle, a ticker displays all warnings concerning this screening.

• An extra line with the number of warnings per warning category

Clicking on the total number of warning opens the Warnings view.
