• If the request can be satisfied, you see a list of session time options.
• If a non-preemptive request cannot be satisfied, you will be prompted.
If other sessions conflict with a preemptive request, a list of possible sessions display using resources
already assigned to other sessions.
If no solutions are found, tentative time slots display and are marked with the Caution icon, instead of
the Solution icon.
7. Select a solution and then click Next to identify those blocking sessions.
This wizard page displays resource allocation conflicts at both resource and interface level. You can
remove conflicts to proceed with scheduling.
Caution Removing conflicts will update your Template content, and will not affect your confirmed and
running sessions by deactivating resources.

• To add session-based properties, click Add > Custom or Add > Provisioning.
• To edit session-based properties, click a Custom or Provisioning property and type (edit) the
property name or value.

you click the Identify Preemption Opportunities check box, the bottom part can list sessions that
should be canceled in order to schedule this session.
12. Click Next.
The next wizard page displays the option to associate remote scripts and test cases with the session. By
default, the No Association option is selected. For more information about script association, see the
“Managing Session Links” section on page 12-27.

A prompt displays, confirming your scheduled session. The prompt asks if you would like to switch to
the Sessions perspective to view your sessions.
14. Click the Remember my decision check box to allow the software to always switch to the Session
Perspective view after scheduling all future sessions.
Note This message displays if you are not in the Sessions perspective. If you have clicked
the check box, the message does not appear on subsequent session scheduling.
15. Click Yes to automatically switch to the Sessions perspective, or click No to remain in your current
perspective.
Your newly created session will display in the Sessions view. For more information about the Sessions
view, see Chapter 10, “Network Management.”
