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:

  1. Go to Operations > Jobs
  2. Click on the job to open its details page
  3. Scroll to the Tasks section
  4. 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:

  1. Select a Category - Choose from categories like "Bathroom Cleaning", "Kitchen Cleaning", "Office Cleaning", etc.
  2. Review Available Tasks - A list of tasks appears with names and estimated times
  3. Select Tasks - Tick the checkbox next to each task you want to add
  4. Use Bulk Selection - Click "Select All" to add all tasks in a category, or "Deselect All" to clear
  5. Check the Counter - The modal shows how many tasks are selected and total estimated time
Tip: Template tasks come with pre-set estimated times, making job planning easier.

Adding a Custom Task

To create a unique task:

  1. Click the Custom Task tab in the modal
  2. Enter a Task Name (required)
  3. Add a Description with details or instructions (optional)
  4. 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.
Pro Tip: When all tasks in a job are marked complete, the system can automatically update the job status. This helps with tracking and reporting.
