Improved Control Center functions for job schedules

It would be beneficial to be able to create different groups of diverse workloads at an environment\group level and set the future date at that level rather than each diverse workload.
Customer current future date requirement is to continually run these workloads +574 days in advance of current date.
- Therefore the future date defined for this environment has to always be +574 days in advance of current date. The date setting should support + or - current date so it has to be changed only once and not constantly updated.

For batch future date testing it would be valuable to be able to set future date support by Job Class. This would make it even easier to support batch and would be more versatile. HourGlass appears to have definitions for batch classes to be either included or excluded.

    Based on our current plans and priorities it is not likely that this will be implemented in the next 12 months and so it is being declined at this point. The requirement will be kept in the RFE system and might be reassessed in the future. You also have an opportunity to resubmit in twelve months time if you wish it to be reconsidered then.
