Adding Cleaning Tasks
Learn how to add tasks to jobs for your cleaning team
Overview
Tasks are the individual cleaning activities that make up a job. You can add tasks from pre-built templates or create custom tasks. Tasks help your team know exactly what needs to be done and allow you to track progress.
Step 1: Open the Job
Navigate to the job you want to add tasks to:
- Go to Operations > Jobs
- Click on the job to open its details page
- Scroll to the Tasks section
- Click the Add Task button
Step 2: Choose How to Add Tasks
The Add Tasks modal offers two methods:
Option A: Select from Templates
Use pre-built task templates organised by category. Best for standard cleaning jobs where you need to add multiple common tasks quickly.
Option B: Custom Task
Create a one-off task with your own title and description. Best for special requirements or unique cleaning needs.
Adding Tasks from Templates
To add multiple tasks quickly using templates:
- Select a Category - Choose from categories like "Bathroom Cleaning", "Kitchen Cleaning", "Office Cleaning", etc.
- Review Available Tasks - A list of tasks appears with names and estimated times
- Select Tasks - Tick the checkbox next to each task you want to add
- Use Bulk Selection - Click "Select All" to add all tasks in a category, or "Deselect All" to clear
- Check the Counter - The modal shows how many tasks are selected and total estimated time
Adding a Custom Task
To create a unique task:
- Click the Custom Task tab in the modal
- Enter a Task Name (required)
- Add a Description with details or instructions (optional)
- Set the Estimated Minutes for the task (default: 5 minutes)
Assigning Tasks to Spaces (Optional)
If the job site has spaces configured (rooms, floors, or areas), you can organise tasks by location:
- Select a Space from the dropdown at the top of the modal
- All tasks added in this submission will be assigned to that space
- This helps your team know exactly where each task needs to be done
Step 3: Save Tasks
Click Add Tasks to save. The tasks will appear in the job's task list where you can:
- Reorder - Drag tasks to change their sequence
- Edit - Modify task details
- Complete - Tick the checkbox when a task is done
- Delete - Remove tasks that are no longer needed
Managing Tasks
Once tasks are added to a job:
| Action | How To |
|---|---|
| Complete a Task | Click the checkbox next to the task. The system records who completed it and when. |
| Edit a Task | Click the edit icon to modify the title, description, or estimated time. |
| Reorder Tasks | Drag and drop tasks to change the order your team should complete them. |
| Delete a Task | Click the trash icon and confirm to remove a task from the job. |
