·        If you choose Yes, the system continues in its attempt to schedule locations for the remaining vehicles. If scheduling fails for any of the vehicles, scheduling will stop and the query message will again be displayed.

·        If you choose Yes to All, the system attempts to schedule locations for all of the remaining vehicles, even if scheduling fails for any of them, and no query message appears.

·        If you choose Cancel, the scheduling activities are not created for any of the vehicles.

If you selected one vehicle and scheduling fails for it, an error message is displayed and an alert is created.
