Create a recurring maintenance plan based on time, such as every two months.

Define a recurrence time pattern and a reset strategy to calculate the next maintenance date.

The following options define how the next maintenance date is calculated:

• If set to When due: The date follows the recurrence pattern, regardless of when maintenance is performed.
• If set to On completion: The date is based on the completion of the previous work order. Use this when maintenance is delayed and future intervals should shift accordingly.
