Scheduling Jobs with Future Start Times

This guide will walk you through the simple steps to schedule jobs within the Optii platform with a future start date and time. This is particularly useful for planning jobs in advance and ensuring efficient workflow.

Step 1: Accessing Job Details

• Begin by clicking on 'Add Job' that you wish to schedule. This will open the job details view.

Step 2: Navigating to Job Scheduling Options

• Confirm the selection: 'Guest Request' or if an internal job select 'Internal' or for housekeeping jobs select 'Housekeeping'
• Within the job details, locate and select the relevant action 'Clean, Deliver, Remove...etc. 
• Next, select the specific item associated with the job and the relevant location where the job needs to be performed.
  

Step 3: Locating the Start Date and Time Settings

• Scroll down within the job details view until you reach the section that displays the "Start Date" and "Start Time." You'll typically find this information around the middle of the page.

Step 4: Modifying the Start Date (Scheduling for a Future Date)

• To schedule the job for a future date, click on the 'Start Date Field'.
• A calendar interface will appear. Select the specific date you wish the job to be scheduled for by clicking on it. The selected date will then populate the "Start Date" field.
  

• If you want the job to be scheduled for the future date with a different start time, click on the "Start Time" field. 
• A time selection interface will appear (this might be a dropdown menu, scrollable list, or a clock-like interface). Select the desired start time for the job. The selected time will then populate the "Start Time" field.

Step 5: Modifying the Start Time (Scheduling for a Later Time Today)

• If you want the job to be scheduled for the current date but with a later start time, click on the "Start Time" field.
• A time selection interface will appear (this might be a dropdown menu, scrollable list, or a clock-like interface). Select the desired start time for the job. The selected time will then populate the "Start Time" field.
  

Step 6: Saving Your Scheduling Job Preferences

• Once you have set the desired future start date and/or time, be sure to click on the "Save," button to confirm your changes.
