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.

    • Post-Event Buffer (e.g., 2 hours after event)

  6. Choose whether to apply buffers to:

    • Newly created projects only, or

    • All active (unarchived) projects

  7. Click “Save” to confirm your buffer settings.

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