Overview
A master Calendar is a named set of slots that isn't tied to any one Schedule. You build the cadence once, then inherit it into as many Schedules as you like — ideal for a group of Schedules that should all share the same times, like a park's daily pre-opening routines. This article covers creating one.
Users must be Super Users, be listed as an Owner on a Schedule, or have one of the following Roles:
Schedules: Create or Modify
Why this matters: Without master Calendars, a shared cadence has to be rebuilt on every Schedule. Build it once and a single edit updates every Schedule that inherits it — especially powerful for seasonal operating calendars.
What a master Calendar is
A master Calendar holds slots — built from patterns and specific slots — but no Checklists, Targets, or Assignees. On its own it does nothing; it becomes active only when a Schedule inherits it.
Creating a master Calendar
1. Open Calendars
In the Mobaro Backend, go to Schedules and click Calendars.
2. Create the Calendar
Click Create, give the master Calendar a title and an optional description, and save.
3. Fill it with slots
Add pattern and specific slots to define the cadence, exactly as you would on a Calendar schedule.
Note: A master Calendar isn't tied to any Checklists. To put it to work, inherit it into one or more Schedules — see Inheriting a master Calendar into Schedules.
Frequently asked questions
Q: Does creating a master Calendar publish anything to the field?
A: No. It only defines slots. Nothing reaches the field until a Schedule with a Checklist, Target, and Assignee inherits it.
Q: When should I use a master Calendar instead of slots on the Schedule itself?
A: When several Schedules should share the same cadence, or when you manage seasonal operating periods. For a single Schedule with its own unique times, slots directly on the Schedule are simpler.
