Planned work records enable the scheduler to create future, everyday (on regular basis),
or on-demand work orders based on the associated work schedule.
* **[Create work orders for upcoming days](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/gXHAvKZVNN_JCd7ZvpyXNQ)**   
  Determine work orders in advance for the upcoming period in future, for example, for the next 30 days, one year, or more. It helps to plan the work force and required parts for the upcoming planned work.
* **[Run a scheduled job to execute a planned work schedule](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/~f5yErfZCvSkrbU4ZrCBhA)**   
  Planned work schedules are executed whenever the meter, duration, script, or condition criteria meets. You can also use the Schedule ad-hoc feature to run a maintenance schedule manually.
* **[Run a planned work schedule on demand](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/D0gN19Ujp3q15RgVwtJjVQ)**   
  Planned work schedules mainly run using the Planned Maintenance Nightly Run scheduled job. However, you can make the schedule to run immediately or change the date when a schedule should run, if needed.
* **[Create work orders for schedule occurrences](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/OKge0aey_kH8pJVK_AMgHg)**   
  Create work orders for schedule occurrences to maintain a record of specific occurrences or maintenance cycles of the schedule. The work orders that are generated for each schedule occurrence are mapped to their corresponding occurrence, enabling the tracking of activities performed for different maintenance cycles.
* **[Work plan example](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/R9Hm25Bq1PLJnarmzmKM1A#example-planned-work)**   
  You can create a work plan to define a maintenance schedule for multiple assets based on their installation date.
* **[Planned Work Management Home page](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/OZUF0EFV6S7shB2dzdFEjw)**   
  Planned Work Management Home page enables you to monitor your work plans, schedules, and work orders.
* **[Plan calendar](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/XF~ObS7wfVaOlVYrwG21aQ)**   
  As a planned work administrator or planner, you can manage schedule occurrences and work orders for planned work directly from the calendar. You can review event occurrences, cancel any duplicate work orders, generate new work orders, or make modifications to the schedule occurrences as needed.
