# How do I annualise my Job Plan?

Annualising means defining something by how many times it occurs per year. Job Planning module automatically calculates how often a work item occurs over 42 weeks. This is the basis of an annualised Job Plan. In other words, SARD Job Plan is annualised by default.

Example: if you do Ward rounds for 4 hours every 5th Monday of the month, the Job Plan will calculate how many 5th Mondays there are in a working year (42 weeks). If you wish to override this and see specifically how many occurrences there are in the 42 weeks, please follow the below steps:

1. Go to Section 4 (Timetable) of your Job Plan and open the activity in question.
2. In the Edit Activity window, scroll down and toggle the **Advanced** button.
3. Tick the 'Override Total Occurrences?' check box, then state the number of occurrences in the 'Now' box.
4. Once done editing the activity, click **Save**.
