Next occurrence actions let you control the upcoming scheduled run of a recurring ticket. You can skip the next scheduled occurrence or generate a ticket immediately without changing the full recurring setup.

Where to find next occurrence actions

To use next occurrence actions, go to:

Control Center > Recurring tickets

Select the recurring ticket you want to manage, then click Next schedule.

Available next schedule actions

You can choose from the following options:

  • Skip

  • Generate now

Skip next schedule

Use Skip next schedule when you want to skip only the next scheduled ticket.

This is useful when a scheduled task is not needed for one cycle, but you want the recurring ticket to continue as usual after that.

When you skip the next occurrence:

  • The next scheduled ticket is not created

  • The recurring ticket remains active

  • The next run updates to the following scheduled date

Generate now

Use Generate now when you want to create a ticket immediately using the recurring ticket settings.

This is useful when the work needs to be done right away instead of waiting for the next scheduled run.

When you generate a ticket now:

  • A new ticket is created immediately

  • The ticket uses the recurring ticket settings

  • The regular recurring schedule continues as usual

How to skip the next schedule

To skip the next occurrence, follow these steps:

  1. Go to Control Center > Recurring tickets.

  2. Select the recurring ticket.

  3. Click Next scheduled.

  4. Select Skip.

  5. Confirm the action.

How to generate a ticket now

To generate a ticket immediately, follow these steps:

  1. Go to Control Center > Recurring tickets.

  2. Select the recurring ticket.

  3. Click Next scheduled.

  4. Select Generate now.

  5. Confirm the action.

Important notes

  • Skipping the next occurrence affects only the next scheduled run.

  • Generating a ticket now does not replace the normal schedule.

  • These actions are available only for recurring tickets that are active.

  • Paused or inactive recurring tickets cannot use next occurrence actions.
