When creating a task in MOP—whether for Housekeeping, Maintenance, or Front Desk—users can select from a list of predefined task types. Some of these tasks include built-in checklists to guide employees during completion. If a predefined task does not fully meet your needs, you can create a customized task by using the Notes field to provide specific instructions.
When to Use a Customized Task
Use a customized task when:
- A standard task does not fully describe the work required
- Additional instructions are needed for the assignee
- A unique or one-time task needs to be communicated
- Special handling or attention is required
