Create a Preventative Maintenance Work Order (Cloud) 🎥
🎥 Watch Video
Preventative maintenance work orders help properties plan and track routine maintenance tasks before issues occur. In Visual Matrix Cloud, creating a preventative maintenance work order allows you to schedule and assign recurring or planned maintenance activities—such as inspections, servicing, or equipment checks—to maintenance staff. This helps ensure ongoing upkeep is performed consistently and reduces the risk of unexpected maintenance issues.
Path: Maintenance > Preventative > Preventative Maintenance
Instructions
1. Select a Maintenance Item. All locations (rooms and/or common areas) where this item is scheduled for completion are automatically displayed.
You can use the available filters—such as Date to Assign, Room Type, or Location Type—to narrow down which rooms or common areas are displayed before assigning preventative maintenance tasks.
2. Click Refresh to update the list based on the selected filters.
3. Select a maintenance staff member, then click one or more room numbers or common areas to assign them. You can also click Assign All to assign all listed locations at once.
Assignments are applied immediately—there is no Save button.
Color indicators help identify assignment status:
- Green: assigned to the selected employee
- Pink: assigned to another employee
- Red: task already completed for that location (visible only when no employee is selected)
Assigning a room or location to a preventative maintenance task does not place the room out of order and does not affect inventory or availability. This action simply records the preventative maintenance item that needs to be completed.
