What this card shows
The Planned cycles not yet started card shows a single number: how many planned cycles are genuinely still ahead of you. These are cycles in planned status that either have no start date yet or have a start date in the future. It is your true forward pipeline of cycles still to come.
Its companion card, Planned cycles overdue, counts the opposite case: cycles whose start date has already passed but that were never moved into active treatment. Those are housekeeping rather than pipeline, which is why the two are counted separately.
Reading the card
A cycle is counted while it is planned and its start date is either unset or still in the future. It drops out once it starts, or once its start date passes.
The number covers the window set by Date range (future), which defaults to the current month plus the next 3 months. Widen it to see the whole pipeline, or narrow it to ask a tighter question such as how many cycles are due to start this month.
The card lives on the Operations Dashboard and responds to these filters:
Date range (future): change how far ahead you look. This is separate from Date range (past), which drives the backward-looking cards.
Clinic: focus on one or more locations, if your organization has several.
Where this data comes from
A cycle enters the pipeline when it is created in planned status. On the patient's Cycle page, starting a new cycle opens a form where the treatment plan and expected start date are entered. That expected start date is what decides whether the cycle is still counted as upcoming.
Keeping the expected start date accurate, and moving cycles into active treatment when they begin, keeps this pipeline number a reliable picture of what is genuinely still to come.
