Set up a recurring job

Recurring jobs save you from booking the same work over and over.

Regular maintenance, a fortnightly service, a monthly clean — book it once and HiTradies schedules every visit for you.

Start the same way as any other job: from Jobs planned, select New job plan, and fill in the Client & payment section as described in Create a job.

Then in Schedule & team, select the Recurring job tab.

How often it repeats

A repeat setting appears at the top of the section:

Every [number] [Days / Weeks / Months]

Fill in the number — it starts blank, and the job won't save without it. For a fortnightly service, that's every 2 Weeks.

Which days

Under Repeat on, tick the days of the week the work happens. Make sure these line up with your start date — if you're starting on a Tuesday, tick Tuesday.

Start and end dates

• Start date — the first visit.
• End date — when the arrangement finishes. Unlike a one-off job, this is optional for recurring work. Leave it empty for an ongoing arrangement with no agreed finish.

Leave the end date off and HiTradies schedules roughly the next two months of visits, topping them up as time goes on, so your visits list doesn't stretch out forever.

Times and team

Set the Start time and End time, and assign your team, exactly as you would for a one-off job. These apply to every visit in the series.

Pricing

Fill in Services & Products as normal — this is what each visit is worth.

Once it's booked

Select Approve. Open the job and you'll see every scheduled visit under its Visits tab, and they'll all appear in Visits scheduled as they come up.
