How Can I Add a Buffer Window to All My Projects?

Here's how you can add a buffer window to all your projects to account for travel time or additional cleaning time.

To access this feature, you must be on Goodshuffle Pro Standard or above.

Why Use Buffer Windows?

If you’re:

  • Shipping rentals long distances

  • Needing time for setup/teardown

  • Adding cleaning time between events

…then setting pre-event or post-event buffer windows helps ensure accuracy and prevent scheduling conflicts.

    • Newly created projects only, or

⚠️ If you apply buffers to all active projects, note that new conflicts may be triggered on unarchived projects.
