Overview
Location Properties in Mobaro enable administrators to define unique attributes for each location, which can dynamically influence the behavior of Checklists. By setting up Location Properties, you can tailor questions or elements within a Checklist to appear or function differently based on the properties assigned to specific locations.
What are Location Properties?
Location Properties are categories with defined attributes that can be assigned to locations in Mobaro. These properties ensure that only relevant Checklist elements appear for a specific location.
For example:
A Checklist question about Indoor Fire Extinguishers will only display for locations with the Indoor Fire Extinguisher property assigned.
Note: Read about Creating and Assigning Location Properties.

How Location Properties Work
Dynamic Checklist Behavior
Checklists dynamically display or hide questions and elements based on the location’s assigned properties.
Note: Read about Adding Location Properties as Logic to Checklists.
Operational Flexibility
Create and assign standard Checklists across all locations while addressing location-specific needs.
Example Use Case
Scenario
A Checklist is used to inspect different ride types.
Location 1 Properties: Coaster, Indoor Fire Extinguisher.
Location 2 Properties: Tower.
Logic Applied
A question about "Track Inspections" displays only for locations with the Coaster property.
A question about "Structural Stability Checks" displays only for locations with the Tower property.
This approach ensures that Checklists remain relevant and streamlined for operators.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What happens if a location doesn't have any properties assigned?
If no properties are assigned to a location, all elements and questions in a Checklist where there is no logic restricting them will show.
Q: Can one location have multiple properties?
Yes, a location can have multiple properties. For instance, a location can be assigned both Indoor Fire Extinguisher and Coaster properties.
Q: Do Location Properties affect existing completed Results?
No, Location Properties only take effect when logic is added to Checklist questions or elements that evaluate these properties going forward.
Q: Can I apply Location Properties retroactively to a Checklist?
Yes, you can update the Checklist to include logic that references Location Properties even after the Checklist has been published.
Q: What happens if I remove a property from a location?
If a property is removed, any Checklist questions or elements linked to that property will no longer be limited by that specific property.
