What this helps you do
Create clear vendor work from a maintenance issue while keeping property access, assignment, proof, and guest communication under your team’s control.Before you start
- Confirm the property and the issue.
- Remove guest details the vendor does not need.
- Confirm the vendor can access the property and task type.
- Decide who approves cost, timing, entry, and guest communication.
Create and assign the work
1
Review the issue
Confirm what happened, where it happened, how urgent it is, and whether a
person must contact the guest first.
2
Create the maintenance task
In Tasks, choose the property and add a clear title, description,
priority, timing, access notes, and required proof.
3
Assign the vendor
Choose the approved vendor. Review their property and task-type access
before saving.
4
Confirm receipt
Check that the vendor can open the task and sees the correct property,
timing, and instructions.
5
Review completion
Check notes, photos, completion time, and any follow-up or cost approval.
6
Close the communication loop
Have the responsible teammate update the guest, owner, or internal team only
after reviewing the vendor result.
How to check it worked
- The task contains only the information the vendor needs.
- The approved vendor can open the correct task and property.
- Required proof reaches the manager.
- Cost, access, or guest communication follows the approval rule.
- Any follow-up task has an owner and due date.
