Overview

In Mobaro, locations are the foundation for organizing your operations. A location can represent anything you want to manage, inspect, or monitor in the platform — such as an attraction, retail shop, F&B outlet, pool, or back-of-house area.

Locations help you structure checklists, assignments, schedules, and reporting so that your data is accurate and easy to understand.


What is a location?

A location is:

  • The unit of work where a checklist or assignment is carried out.

  • Tied to location groups for easier filtering and reporting.

  • Connected to schedules to control when tasks should be completed.

  • A central piece in reporting and dashboards, letting you drill down into results by site or attraction.

Note: Without locations, many core features in Mobaro (such as checklists or schedules) cannot be assigned.


Key elements of a location

Location details

  • Name: The visible label for staff (e.g. “Wave Pool” or “Main Entrance”).

  • Description: Optional context for admins.

Location groups

  • Organize locations into higher-level categories (e.g. “Pools,” “Food & Beverage,” “Rides”).

  • Useful for reporting across multiple similar locations.

Hierarchies

  • Locations can be standalone or grouped under broader organizational levels.

  • Helps large operations manage hundreds of locations across multiple parks or sites.

Linking to schedules and checklists

  • Every checklist or assignment must be tied to a location.

  • Schedules control when a location’s checklist is due and how often it repeats.


Why locations matter

  • Consistency: Ensure staff complete the right checklist in the right place.

  • Compliance: Track inspections at the exact location level regulators require.

  • Efficiency: Use location groups to assign the same checklist to multiple sites at once.

  • Reporting: Filter dashboards by location to identify trends or issues.


Best practices

  • Use clear, descriptive names for locations so staff immediately know where to perform checks.

  • Organize locations into location groups to simplify setup and reporting.

  • Avoid duplicates — each physical area should only be represented once.

  • Regularly review your location list to keep it clean and up to date.

Tip: Think of locations as your “map” in Mobaro. The clearer the map, the easier it is for staff to follow and for managers to analyze.
