Notes:
- PMs can have multiple schedules, hourly included.
- The maximum schedule for hourly PMs is every 23 hours. For a frequency above that, you will need to use the daily option.
- Hourly PMs cannot generate early with the Generate Now feature nor moved ahead of time on the Calendar Dashboard.
- Floating option is available with Hourly schedules meaning the next work order will not generate till the last is completed. The next expected ticket will generate rather than skip time frames.
