11 If something goes wrong
Read the exact message and check the year, selected name, editing session and saved status first.
| What you see | What to do |
|---|---|
| Waiting for the confirmed draw | The administrator must press Confirm & send on the final lucky draw. Viewing the draw alone does not publish the order. |
| Complete button is disabled | Sign in, choose your own name and check that it is your turn in the active round. The next round waits for all three centres. |
| Sheet locked by another person | Ask the displayed editor to finish and unlock. Holiday duty offers a confirmed takeover of a staff lock; staff cannot take over admin - George. The AL calendar asks you to wait. |
| This browser no longer holds the lock | Another session took over or your session expired. Do not try to overwrite the saved sheet. Reload, choose your name and obtain the current lock before editing again. |
| Done editing did not save | That button only disables editing and keeps the draft. Press Save changes, check success, then Unlock sheet. |
| Unsaved-change warning | Cancel the warning if you need the changes. Save them first. Confirming an unlock/discard warning abandons the pending changes. |
| Minimum fields are read-only | Only Admin holding the holiday-duty lock can change them. Staff should compare the registered counts with the targets for their current 2027 centre. |
| Session expired or sign-in required | Sign in again, reopen the intended page and recheck your selected name. Obtain the lock again where editing requires it. |
| Request cannot be found | Check 2027, the correct AL / change-duty / station-shift list, the status filter and the staff name. |
Before you leave: verify the correct staff name, wait for a successful save, and unlock any sheet you are holding. On the order page, mark complete only after the AL booking is saved.
