XPH | Jobs - include future recurring jobs on calendar
The current calendar in practice management under Jobs->Jobs manager->Important dates would only show jobs that are already created. However, for recurring jobs that's done routinely it doesn't show up in advance as they only generate on the planned task date. For example, if I do job A every Monday and it is something usually finishes on Monday too, and today is a Tuesday, then I don't get to see my next Monday's schedule ahead of time. For management and organisation purposes, we need to have these recurring tasks planned at a future date generated for the foreseeable future, which means three months in Important dates. Or, alternatively, add another "Calendar" tab to avoid swamping Important dates with recurring jobs in case people would like to use it for milestone events only.

shared this idea
Hi everyone, thanks for the engagement on this idea. We can see how being able to view future recurring jobs on the calendar could make it easier to plan workloads and manage capacity.
Currently, recurring jobs only appear on the calendar once they've been generated. As a workaround, you can configure recurring job templates to generate further in advance, allowing upcoming jobs and their assigned tasks to appear earlier for planning purposes.
I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest from the community. If there are particular planning timeframes or scheduling workflows this would support, we'd love to hear more about them.
