Hi,

I am using equipment scheduler in vision. I would like to have unique entries. For eg, if an user scheduled a machine from 17-09-2022 10:00 PM to 18-09-2022 11:00 AM, when another user tries to enter the same slot or if it falls between the previous slot, there should be an error message to be displayed.  
Is there any option available in component itself or should i have to handle it via db?  
Pic for reference,

Handle in the DB. Presumably another column for each event that indicates the user that scheduled it.

Update instead of insert.
