What is a Grace Period?
A grace period allows tasks to be completed slightly outside the set schedule or calendar time without marking them as late or missed. This feature is useful when tasks may vary due to operational delays, providing flexibility within predefined timeframes.
Note: Grace periods do not affect the actual duration of the task; they only impact the timeframe within which tasks are marked as on-time.
How to Add a Grace Period to a Schedule or Calendar
Navigate to Schedules or Calendars in the Mobaro sidebar. Select the schedule or calendar you want to edit.
Select Grace Period Settings
Within a specific time slot or a pattern, locate and enable the Allow grace period section and click to edit the end of the grace period.
Tip: Only users with editing permissions for Schedules or Calendars can adjust grace period settings. If you need access, contact a super user.
