A Calendar Schedule makes Checklists available in time slots. Slots come from weekday-based Patterns, one-off Specifics on dates you choose, and master Calendars the Schedule inherits. Each slot has a start and a deadline, and — if you tick Allow grace period — an End of grace period: extra time after the deadline in which the Checklist can still be completed. Compliance is tracked per slot: a Checklist not completed by the end of the slot (the end of the grace period, or the deadline if there is none) becomes a Missing Result.

A Calendar Schedule is not a Location's opening hours: it controls when a Checklist is available, while opening hours define the operating window for Downtime calculation (see Add opening hours to a Location).

Use a Calendar schedule when the timing of the task is part of the record — pre-opening inspections, shift-change audits, end-of-day reconciliations — and:

Open Schedules in the Mobaro Backend.

Click Create and choose Calendar Schedule.

Enter a Title, an optional Description, and the slots' Time Zone — which can only be chosen now, at creation.

Choose the Checklists to make available.

Choose Applies to (Locations/Location Groups) and any Exclusions (Locations/Location Groups), or set Target type to Assets if you have Scheduling functionality for assets.

Add Assigned to (Users/User Groups), Reviewers (Users/User Groups) and Owners (Users/User Groups), and choose Results visible to. See Schedule stakeholders: assignees, reviewers, and owners.

Choose the compliance settings (see below).

The buttons for adding slots appear in the Schedule's header once it's saved.

Use Patterns, Inheritance and Exclusions in the header, or click a date to add a Specific (see below). Toggle Show full slot length (include grace period) to see grace periods on the calendar; Settings reopens the Schedule's configuration.

A Pattern creates a slot on each selected day of the week, at the same start and end time, between its start and expiration dates. Add one with Patterns › Add Pattern and set a Title, the days it is Available every (at least one), a start and end time, and optionally Allow grace period, Set Start Date, Set Expiration Date and Reminders. A Schedule can have several Patterns — one per time of day, or per set of days with different times. See Pattern slots: scheduling a recurring cadence.

A Specific is a one-off slot on a date and time you choose, such as a special event. Click a date on the calendar to open Configure Specific and set its start and end, and optionally Allow grace period and Reminders. Use values as preset when creating new specifics reuses the times for the next date you click. You can't add a Specific to a past date.

Every Schedule that inherits a master Calendar shares its Patterns and Specifics. Click Inheritance in the Schedule's header to open Configure Calendar Inheritance, choose a Calendar and click Add Calendar. Its slots are edited in that Calendar, not the Schedule, and each Calendar can be inherited only once per Schedule. See Creating a master Calendar and Inheriting a master Calendar into Schedules.

Click Exclusions › Configure Exclusions › Add Exclusion to skip slots for a period, such as a park closure or special event. Give it a Reason, a start and an end; overlapping Pattern slots are skipped. Tick Exclude Specific Slots to skip Specifics too. An Exclusion on the Schedule also applies to slots inherited from master Calendars; an Exclusion on a master Calendar applies to that Calendar's slots. Overlap is checked against the slot's start and deadline — the grace period isn't counted.

Calendar Schedules offer the full set of compliance settings:

Reminders are set per Pattern or Specific instead — see Adding reminders to Schedules. For what each option does, see Schedule compliance settings; for grace periods, see Adding Grace Periods to Schedules and Calendars.

Missed slots don't create Assignments automatically. By default, a Missing Result turns its Location red on the Location Overview — see Schedule criticality and Location operational status.

How do I schedule a checklist monthly, every 2 weeks or yearly?

Patterns only repeat on days of the week, so there's no monthly, fortnightly or yearly Pattern. Add a Specific for each date instead (on a master Calendar if several Schedules share them), or create an Ad Hoc Slot for a one-off.

How do I skip days when the park is closed?

Add an Exclusion for the closure (Exclusions › Configure Exclusions › Add Exclusion). It skips Pattern slots (tick Exclude Specific Slots for Specifics too) for every target of that Schedule or master Calendar, so for a one-park closure, use a separate Schedule or Calendar. Started slots aren't removed.

Can a Pattern run past midnight, for example 8pm to 1am?

No. A Pattern's start, deadline and end of grace period must all fall on the same day, so a grace period can't run into the next day either. For an overnight slot, add a Specific, which has its own start and end dates.

How do I add a checklist to a schedule, or link a master calendar?

Click Settings in the Schedule's header and choose the Checklists in What?. To link a master Calendar, click Inheritance in the header and add it. See Inheriting a master Calendar into Schedules.

My calendar schedule has expired. How do I extend it?

Edit its Patterns, in the Schedule or in the master Calendar it inherits, and move or untick Set Expiration Date. A Calendar Schedule expires after its last Pattern or Specific slot; if any Pattern has no expiration date, it doesn't expire.

Can a checklist run several times a day, or at different times on different days?

Yes. Each Pattern has one start and end time, so add a Pattern for each time of day (for example, "Opening" and "Closing") or for each set of days with different times, all on the same Schedule.
