How to Handle Warning Alerts in the Season Practice Planner

Intro

The Season Practice Planner (the Plan Season Generator) helps you create a full set of practice sessions for an entire season in one go. Before the generator commits to creating all sessions, it may show a warning alert modal to flag potential issues - for example, overlapping dates, missing drill templates, or season date mismatches. This guide explains how to interpret that modal, review the draft plans, and make the necessary configuration changes so you can proceed with confidence.

Prerequisites

• A club manager or coach account with the manage_sessions permission.
• At least one season already created in your club.
• A set of session templates or drills you want to include in the generated sessions.
• Access to the Sessions page (/sessions).

Step-by-step

1. Navigate to the Sessions page and click Plan Season (Generator).

💡 Tip: If you don’t see this button, verify your active role includes manage_sessions permissions.

2. Select the target season from the dropdown and configure the generation options (e.g., number of practices per week, start time, venue).

3. Click Generate Preview to create a draft of the sessions.

4. If the system detects any conflicts or missing data, a warning alert modal appears. Read the message carefully - it will list each issue (e.g., “Season end date conflicts with existing sessions”, “No drills assigned for U10 group”).

5. In the modal, choose one of the following actions:

• Review Drafts - opens a preview of the draft sessions so you can inspect them before changes.
• Modify Configuration - returns you to the generation options screen to fix the flagged issues.
• Proceed Anyway - bypasses the warning and generates the sessions as-is (use only if you accept the risk).

The warning alert modal with options to review drafts, modify configuration, or proceed anyway.

6. If you click Review Drafts, a list of draft sessions appears. You can scroll through each session to verify dates, times, and assigned drills. Click Edit on any draft to open the Session Wizard (/sessions/new with prefilled data) and make manual adjustments.

7. If you click Modify Configuration, adjust the settings that triggered the warning (for example, change the season date range, add missing templates, or remove conflicting sessions). Then click Generate Preview again.

8. Once you are satisfied with the draft, click Confirm & Create. All approved sessions are saved to your club’s session library.

Tips & Pitfalls

• Always review drafts - the generator applies templates automatically, but you may want to tweak individual session content or add custom drills.
• Check season date boundaries - a common warning is a proposed session date falling outside the season’s defined start and end dates. Use Modify Configuration to align the date range.
• Permission gotcha - if the Plan Season (Generator) button is missing, switch your active role to one that includes manage_sessions using the Role Switcher in the navbar.
• Draft sessions are not saved until confirmed - you can safely close the page; no changes are permanent until you click Confirm & Create.
• Template vs. drill conflicts - the warning modal may flag missing drills if your selected template references a drill that was deleted. Update the template before generating.

Summary

The warning alert modal in the Season Practice Planner is your safety net. It catches configuration mistakes before dozens of sessions are created. Use Review Drafts to inspect the generated plan, and Modify Configuration to fix issues. Once everything looks good, confirm and your season sessions are ready for publishing. Next, you can assign coaches and share the full season calendar with your players and parents.
