Recurrence pattern dialog box

Use the Recurrence pattern dialog box to create a schedule for recurring jobs. For example, you want to schedule a weekly deep cleaning of each room. When you create the job on the New job screen, you can configure the job to repeat every Friday. You can also tell the software to skip the weekly deep cleaning if the room is occupied.
