 After saving the reservation, the pop-up windows is closed and main scheduler table is updated with the newly created reservation slot in yellow color indicating that it is in the "pending approval" state. Also, the email notification  on the reservation is sent to your registered email address.  
 
-Reservations slots that are not in conflict are approved by the scheduling service based on the [wiki:Documentation/Scheduling#ReservationPoliciesandConflictResolution two stage approval policy]. Once it has been approved, the color for that slot will be changed to dark blue and approval email notification message will be sent to the requester and requester will be able to access the console of the resource whose reservation was just approved.

-Conflicts will be resolved based on how much time you've already used over the last two weeks. Those who have used less time on the main grid in the last two weeks will be more likely to have their requests approved.
+Two tier approval policy : scheduling requests received before noon will be pre-approved for the following day. For example, if it is Tuesday morning before noon, and you ask for 4 to 6 in the evening Wednesday, you will know for sure whether you have this time by 2 in the afternoon on Tuesday. Users are limited to two hours a day of pre-approved time on the main grid.

+Due to complexity of the conflict resolution algorithm, please refrain from conflicting on slots that are less that 12 hours in the future since just-in-time approval process will not try to resolve conflicts.
