What are Activity Waves?
An activity wave is a set period, like a week or a month, that has its own hour quota. Only one wave runs at a time. When it ends, its results are saved and the next one starts straight away.

Wave Duration
Pick a Duration Type to decide when waves end. Clear it to stop waves ending on their own.
| Duration Type | When the wave ends |
|---|---|
| Duration in days | After a set number of days (up to 60) |
| End of month | At the end of each month (UTC) |
| End of week | Every Saturday at midnight (UTC) |
| End of every other week | Every other Saturday at midnight (UTC) |
| Every X day at Y time | On the day of the week and time you choose |
| Every other X day at Y time | Every other week, on the day and time you choose |
If the current wave has already passed the new duration, saving ends it straight away.
Hour Requirements and Inactivity
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Required Hours | Hours each member must reach per wave. Leave empty for no quota. |
| Custom activity requirements | A different hour requirement per rank. Overrides Required Hours for that rank. |
| Inactivity Flag Period | Days without a shift before a member is flagged inactive. Leave empty to turn off. |
| Excluded Roles | Ranks that are never flagged inactive. |
| Inactivity Channel | Discord channel for inactivity notices. Needs a linked Discord server. |
Managing Waves
The waves table lists every wave with its shifts and online time. From the current wave you can:
- End wave early.
- Set End Date to pick an exact end for this wave only.
- Delete activity wave to remove a wave and all its shifts. Deleting the current wave restarts it from zero.
When you end a wave and automatic quota infractions are on, Melonly asks whether to exclude members on LOA and members who joined mid-wave, then shows who will get an infraction before you confirm. Waves that end on their own use the Scheduled Wave Ends defaults from the same settings.
