    Housekeeping Task Not Appearing

    Housekeeping Tasks are scheduled jobs for a Reservation that can be allocated and marked complete by Housekeepers.

    Housekeeping Tasks can be setup on a Property, Category, Area, Rate Type or Rate Table depending on the property’s requirements.

    The Housekeeping Task Hierarchy determines which Housekeeping Tasks are applied to a Reservation.

    Where multiple layers of Housekeeping Tasks exist only the tasks from the highest layer will be allocated to the Reservation.

    Any Housekeeping Tasks that are required to appear on the same day can be setup with the same minute allocation.
