Or adjust current recurring jobs to better organize your schedule and make your recurring jobs, and teams more efficient!** The Master Schedule is a tool built to help you visualize and manage all your recurring service sets over the entire 4 week rotation for all teams. ***PLEASE NOTE:*** the Master Schedule will only display recurring customer jobs only; Every Week, Every Two Weeks, Every Four Weeks are included. Also, The Master Schedule uses the **Service Set Type Planned Team Size** and the **Service Set Default Teams** to calculate team size. It also uses the **Service Set default start time** . The Master schedule uses its logic off of the **Next Job** - If you schedule an off-rotation job the master schedule will visually change (EX: Normally the job is Week 2-4, if you schedule a job on week 3, the master schedule will show week 1-3 when that out of rotation job is scheduled) **If there is a Disabled Team still showing on the Master Schedule** - Teams will show on the master schedule if they meet 1 of 2 conditions. 1) An employee is assigned to that team or 2) Jobs are assigned to that team. If a disabled team is still showing on your master schedule one of the 2 above reasons is why! ***Actual job times, scheduled teams, team size, or overridden team size DO NOT effect the Master Schedule.*** ***Conflicts:*** Conflicts will appear under the Week section at the top of the master schedule - a Conflict means that there are overlapping jobs. ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/0c1ef627-c6ff-4a23-afbe-729f8c45b2d2/Images/Documentation/how-to-use-the-master-schedule---master-schedule-overview-image-won97gtl.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-31T16%3A41%3A11Z&se=2026-10-31T17%3A41%3A11Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=6%2FdLuk4%2BqE1%2FZR1j%2BwToEjWAsnmPMMglNpBHd41HC14%3D) You can see what the conflicts are by clicking on the blue link and it will bring up a section that outlines the conflict ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/0c1ef627-c6ff-4a23-afbe-729f8c45b2d2/Images/Documentation/how-to-use-the-master-schedule---master-schedule-overview-image-zc00l5do.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-31T16%3A41%3A11Z&se=2026-10-31T17%3A41%3A11Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=6%2FdLuk4%2BqE1%2FZR1j%2BwToEjWAsnmPMMglNpBHd41HC14%3D) Seen above, the conflict is that "Custer home" ends at 2:58, but the Crouch home starts at 1:30 - "Team six" can not be at both Custer and Crouch Home from 1:30 to 2:58 - that is the conflict. Adjusting the ***Default*** start time, or team will resolve this conflict **Resolving conflicts enables you to schedule and sell efficiently for the future!** Visually a conflict, looks like overlapping jobs - Seen below, the Custer home overlaps both the Crouch, and McCallister job causing conflicts. ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/0c1ef627-c6ff-4a23-afbe-729f8c45b2d2/Images/Documentation/how-to-use-the-master-schedule---master-schedule-overview-image-sm76g7cu.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-31T16%3A41%3A11Z&se=2026-10-31T17%3A41%3A11Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=6%2FdLuk4%2BqE1%2FZR1j%2BwToEjWAsnmPMMglNpBHd41HC14%3D) ***Weeks 1,2,3 and 4 :*** The master schedule uses a "weekly" format for each job The starting day of each week is listed at the top of the master schedule ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/0c1ef627-c6ff-4a23-afbe-729f8c45b2d2/Images/Documentation/how-to-use-the-master-schedule---master-schedule-overview-image-adaifq6p.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-31T16%3A41%3A11Z&se=2026-10-31T17%3A41%3A11Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=6%2FdLuk4%2BqE1%2FZR1j%2BwToEjWAsnmPMMglNpBHd41HC14%3D) A great way to see the weekly breakdowns and what day will be what week # is through the "Revenue and production Planning Report" Seen below is the Revenue Production Planning sorted by "week" for a 2 month time range - In the "Week Column" the 1st number 1-4 is the week that the master schedule uses for Week 1-4 The 2nd number is the actual week of the year. so 1-8 is week 1 for the master schedule - 8th week of the year. ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/0c1ef627-c6ff-4a23-afbe-729f8c45b2d2/Images/Documentation/how-to-use-the-master-schedule---master-schedule-overview-image-o5gp8cqh.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-31T16%3A41%3A11Z&se=2026-10-31T17%3A41%3A11Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=6%2FdLuk4%2BqE1%2FZR1j%2BwToEjWAsnmPMMglNpBHd41HC14%3D) ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/0c1ef627-c6ff-4a23-afbe-729f8c45b2d2/Images/Documentation/how-to-use-the-master-schedule---master-schedule-overview-image-m7jhxz8q.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-31T16%3A41%3A11Z&se=2026-10-31T17%3A41%3A11Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=6%2FdLuk4%2BqE1%2FZR1j%2BwToEjWAsnmPMMglNpBHd41HC14%3D) ***Video:*** Here is a short video of how to use the Master Schedule: [Embedded content](https://www.youtube.com/embed/X1MXGaRieMo) Below is a long form video of how the master schedule works in a discussion format!
