Use the Task Board
The task board tracks operational work that needs an owner, status, due time, and completion record.
Quick Reference
| Area | What It Means | What To Do |
|---|---|---|
| Open tasks | Work that has not been completed. | Assign, start, or follow up. |
| Assigned tasks | Work owned by a staff member. | Monitor progress and update status. |
| GEP assistance requests | Guest-started assistance work from the GEP Assistance menu. | Assign, follow up, and close the task after fulfillment. |
| Filters | Views by status, staff, category, room, or date. | Narrow the board during busy shifts. |
| Reports | Historical task performance. | Use for review and handover. |
Before You Start
- Staff members must exist and have the correct role.
- Task types should be configured.
- Rooms should be configured if tasks are room-based.
- Teams should know which GEP assistance categories they own.
Work From the Task Board
- Go to HOME -> Tasks.
- Review open tasks by date, status, owner, room, or GEP assistance category.
- Select a task to view details.
- Assign or reassign the owner if needed.
- Update status as work progresses.
- Add notes when staff need handover context.
- Close the task when the work is complete.
GEP assistance requests should be handled like other operational tasks. The guest starts the request in GEP, but staff ownership, status changes, notes, and completion belong on the task board.
Manager Checks
- Review overdue tasks first.
- Confirm high-priority tasks have an owner.
- Reassign tasks when staff workload changes.
- Use reports for repeated delays or missed tasks.
Troubleshooting
Task is not visible to staff
What you see: A manager creates a task, but staff cannot see it.
Do this:
- Confirm the task has the correct owner or team.
- Check filters on the staff view.
- Confirm the task date and room are correct.
- Confirm staff access and role.
GEP assistance request is not visible
What you see: A guest submits an assistance request, but staff cannot find it on the board.
Do this:
- Confirm the guest used the correct property GEP page.
- Clear filters for status, owner, room, and category.
- Check whether the request appears under another assistance or task category.
- Confirm task routing and notification setup with the property configuration owner.
