The Calendar is the heart of the Job Cal Plus system. It displays all the work to be done, completed work, overdue work, and skipped work for up to a 56 week period. Jobs can be closed, rescheduled, deleted, and created using the calendar.

Using the calendar entails clicking on a job (cell) to make it current, and then performing an action on the  job (close, move, etc...). The current job's detail is displayed at the bottom of the screen. As you move around in the calendar, the detail will display information about the current job.

The cells background color indicate the status of the job.

	To be done.
	Up to 4 weeks overdue.
	Greater than 4 weeks overdue.
	Job skipped.  When a job is skipped it is moved to the history table.
	Completed.
	Estimated.  This is a job based on meter readings and the date due is estimated.
	Date/Meter.  If a job is of the Date/Meter type it will only be the Date/Meter color if the next MeterDue is greater than the latest  meter reading and todays date is less than the next due date.  These jobs are scheduled by date, these jobs will be rescheduled automatically if the last meter reading, the meter frequency and the average meter reading per day indicates that a job is due before the first job scheduled by date.
