How do I add a buffer?
Insert buffer time to protect flow between tasks or phases.
To add a buffer between tasks in the schedule view:
- Add a one-off task: Click the plus button to add a one off task.
- Edit buffer settings:
- In the side panel, select buffer from the task type dropdown.
- Enter the desired buffer duration (in days).
- Save buffer: Buffers will appear as grey bars in the timeline and help absorb variation.
🔒 Buffers act as cushions to protect against cascading delays. Use them strategically between trains or near milestones.
