Many Assets are maintained on several cycles, for example weekly, every two weeks and every four weeks. With multiple intervals, you cover all cycles in a single Maintenance Plan. When due dates coincide, remberg creates one Work Order with exactly the Procedures and Parts due on that date, instead of several Work Orders with overlapping content on the same Asset.
How do multiple intervals work?
A Maintenance Plan always has a base interval, for example 1 week. You can add up to three longer intervals in the same unit, for example 2 and 4 weeks. Each interval must be a whole multiple of the one before it.
For each interval, you define which Procedures and Parts belong to it. On every due date, remberg checks which intervals are due:
If only one interval is due, the Work Order gets that interval's Procedures and Parts.
If several intervals are due at the same time, remberg creates one Work Order from the longest interval due.
The Work Order subject shows which interval triggered it, so your team can tell the small service from the major one at a glance.
Setting up multiple intervals
Create a new Maintenance Plan or open an existing one and go to the Repetition step.
Select Calendar based as the mode.
Set the First due date.
Under Interval, enter the base interval: a number and a unit (e.g. 2 Weeks).
Click + Add Interval and enter the number for the next interval (e.g. 4). remberg takes the unit from the base interval.
Repeat step 5 for further intervals. You can use up to four intervals in total.
Select a weekday under Repeat on, or for months and years, the date or weekday.
Click Next and assign the Procedures and Parts to the intervals in the Work Order template (see next section).
To remove an additional interval, click the X next to it.
đĄ Note: Multiple intervals are only available when exactly one weekday is selected. If you select several weekdays, the option is not available.
Assigning Procedures and Parts to intervals
Once a Maintenance Plan has multiple intervals, the Procedures and Parts sections of the Work Order template show one column per interval (per Interval). Use the checkboxes to define for which interval a Procedure or Part is included in the Work Order.
When you add an interval, it includes all Procedures and Parts of the shorter intervals by default.
Untick what isn't needed for an interval, such as a check that's only part of the major service.
Every Procedure and Part must belong to at least one interval, so you can't remove the last tick in a row. If you don't need a Procedure at all, remove it from the Work Order template.
Example
A Maintenance Plan has intervals of 1, 2 and 4 weeks. The first due date is Wednesday, 18 Nov 2026. The Procedures are assigned like this:
Procedure | 1 week | 2 weeks | 4 weeks |
Inspection | â | â | â |
Safety check | â | â | â |
This results in the following Work Orders:
Due date | Intervals due | Work Order from interval | Procedures in Work Order |
18 Nov 2026 | 1 week | 1 week | Inspection |
25 Nov 2026 | 1 week | 1 week | Inspection |
2 Dec 2026 | 1 and 2 weeks | 2 weeks | Inspection, Safety check |
9 Dec 2026 | 1 week | 1 week | Inspection |
16 Dec 2026 | 1, 2 and 4 weeks | 4 weeks | Safety check |
đĄ Note: If you untick a Procedure for a longer interval, it isn't performed on that date. The shorter interval doesn't create an additional Work Order. In the example, the Inspection is skipped on 16 Dec 2026.

FAQ
Why can't I combine 2 and 3 months in one Maintenance Plan? 3 is not a multiple of 2. Only whole multiples make it clear which interval is due on a given date. Create two separate Maintenance Plans for such cycles.
Are my existing Maintenance Plans merged automatically? No. Create a new Maintenance Plan with multiple intervals, then terminate the previous single-interval plans. Read here how to terminate a Maintenance Plan.
How do I change the base interval or its unit? Delete all additional intervals first. You can then change the base interval and add the additional intervals again.
How can I tell which interval triggered a Work Order? From the Work Order subject. remberg automatically appends the triggering interval to the subject from the Work Order template.
Are the intervals kept when I copy a Maintenance Plan? Yes, the copy includes all intervals along with the assignment of Procedures and Parts.
