How do I submit a maintenance request?
With the software, you can create a maintenance request for your properties. Open "Properties" from the left-side menu and click on the Maintenance tab of one of the properties.
OR
Press the “Maintenance“ button on the left-side menu of the dashboard and then press the "+ Add request" button:
Here you can choose between the Basic request and Advanced request options. The main difference between these two types is that the Basic request takes much less time to complete, but it doesn’t include information such as used equipment, available date and time, assignee and other. Press the “Get started“ button once the type of request is selected.
Please note:
You can add or edit any information later regardless of whether you’ve selected the Basic or the Advanced request.
Please note:
The Advanced request form is available only for the desktop version!

Once you’ve decided to create a Basic maintenance request, select the most suitable categories from the menu to describe the issue.

Please note:
You can add up to 10 photos and upload 15 sec. video. The file must be at least 1 kilobyte.
Please note, that after uploading a video, the system will render it for 1-2 minutes.
Then, edit the title of your maintenance request if needed, provide details, and select the property.
