Dashboard
Upcoming Jobs Card
What the Upcoming Jobs card counts and how it differs from the separate Upcoming Scheduled Jobs table.
The Upcoming Jobs card is the short-range workload signal on the Dashboard. It tells you how many active jobs are due soon, without making you open the planner or Jobs list first.
What It Counts
- Active jobs only: The card checks active jobs rather than every status.
- Next 7 days: It looks from today to the same day next week.
- Due date: A job counts when its Due date falls in that week. A job that is already overdue counts on the Overdue Jobs card instead, even when its following visit is this week.
- Open upcoming jobs: The link under the number opens the Jobs list on the jobs behind it, filtered by Due date from today to a week today. Any other filters you left on the Jobs list are cleared, so the list matches the count.
What It Does Not Do
- Not the same as the table: The separate Upcoming Scheduled Jobs widget shows example rows. This card is just the headline count.
- Not date-range reporting: Like other live workload cards, it does not turn into a historic count when you change the Dashboard date range.
