No. Not all tasks benefit from being scheduled. Sometimes you may want a task that is tracked from a historical perspective in the maintenance log, but scheduling it is not necessary or impractical due to the on-demand/as-necessary nature of the task (ie - shovelling snow).

To schedule recurring maintenance:

• Go to Maintenance → Task List
• Click "Add New Task"
• Check the "Active" checkbox
• Choose "Recurring" frequency (daily, weekly, monthly, etc.)
• Set the specific days and times
• Click "Submit"
• You now have a recurring task that is available to be assigned to specific homes so edit the task and assign the homes to put this task on the schedule
• Remember: Only "Active" tasks that are assigned to specific homes will be put on the schedule. This give administrators the chance to make seasonal tasks (such as mowing the lawn) active during part of the year then deactivate them until next season.
• Additionally, not all tasks benefit from being scheduled. Sometimes you may want a task that is tracked from a historical perspective in the maintenance log, but scheduling it is not necessary or impractical due to the on-demand/as-necessary nature of the task (ie - shovelling snow)

The system will automatically create new task instances based on your schedule.

All maintenance activities are automatically tracked:

• View complete maintenance logs in Maintenance → Maintenance Log
• Additionally, you may view a filtered list of tasks by property or view all instances of a particular task when needed.

This helps you identify patterns and plan future maintenance more effectively.

For example, if air-filters should be changed every 12 months, but you complete this task 6 months early, will the next scheduled frequency be in 6 months or 12 months?

The system can accommodate this type of scenario if you check the "Completion Based" checkbox when defining or editing the task.

When checked, the task will be rescheduled based on the last date the task was performed to ensure that (using the example above) the system will remind you to clean the filters 12 months after they were last changed, instead of scheduling the task based on an arbitrary date that was never honored.

The system will review the maintenance log for the most recent completion date for each task-home combination and use any identified completion dates as the anchor point for calculating next occurrences. If it finds none, the system will use the "Start Date" as the anchor point for scheduling future maintenance.
