To learn how use the Maintenance App, follow the steps below.

Assign and Send a Maintenance Request

In MyPMS the Tape Chart and each booking allows a User to add a Maintenance Request or to view one that has been entered (if there is a booking number assigned to the Maintenance request, the tab My Guest will show any Request(s) for that booking). Users can add maintenance Request and track them from the PMS or via the app or web..

When 'Add maintenance Request' is clicked, a form appears for your staff:

*note: the Priority (2 options: Normal and High) is to allows a user to 'sort' requests.

Once the User clicks 'Add Request', the result is a new Request, it has been sent as a 'notification' to whoever was set as the 'default' maintenance user for your property, and it saves to the booking.  Clicking the Request ID will open the request.

The details will saved to the new maintenance Request created:

...and the booking that initiated the request will now show the Request and its status.

Adding Maintenance Request from the Tape Chart

From any room on the Tape Chart, a User can assign a Maintenance Request for that room.

If the Room has an ACTIVE booking in I t, then the Guest name and Booking Number defaults , but it can be removed if the maintenance request isn't appropriate to that Guest and/or Booking.

If the Room has no active booking, then the User must fill in some details to assist the Maintenance staff with the request.

Armed with the BookingCenter mobile app (or they can use a web browser), the User receives notification and the system notates the time the request was sent.





Request "Complete" and Room CLEAN

Alternatively, set the Request to 'complete' which both closes the request and also sets the Room 'clean' in the PMS. If using 'supervisors' for Housekeeping, the Supervisor automatically receives notification that the Room is 'clean' and ready for check-in.  Alternatively, the Supervisor could make comments about the cleaning and assign the Request to a User s/he chooses and that Housekeeper would be notified and the PMS updated that the Room is once again 'Assigned' and not ready for rent.

To set a Request to Complete, follow these steps.

  • The Housekeeper (User) changes the Request status to "Complete" in the Mobile App.
  • The status of the Room is changed to CLEAN in MyPMS
  • The supervisor or whomever is designated will receive a notification that the Request has been closed.

Tracking Requests and Ready for Inspection

Then, when the User has cleaned the room, they can set it for 'Inspection', which automatically assigns the Request to their Housekeeping Supervisor.  This alerts the PMS that the Room is now under 'Inspect' status.  Or, alternatively, set the Request to 'complete' which both closes the request and also sets the Room 'clean' in the PMS. If using 'supervisors' for Housekeeping, the Supervisor automatically receives notification about each Room(s) are ready for their 'inspection', and  the Supervisor 'closes' the Request after inspection, triggering the PMS to set that Room 'clean' and ready for check-in.  Alternatively, the Supervisor could make comments about the cleaning and assign the Request to a User s/he chooses and that Housekeeper would be notified and the PMS updated that the Room is once agin 'Assigned' and not ready for rent.

To set a Request to Inspect, follow these steps.

  • The Housekeeper (User) changes the Request status to "processing" in the Mobile App.
  • The status of the Room is changed to "Inspect" in MyPMS
  • The supervisor or whomever is designated will receive a notification that the Room is ready to Inspect.

MyGuest Maintenance Dashboard and Request Views

  • The Maintenance Dashboard is displayed to all Users. If you only want the Maintenance User to view Maintenance requests - and other PMS areas - then set the User Role to "MyGuest only".
  • To receive notifications on the Mobile App, the User must have "Maintenance" set to ON in the App (under Interfaces). To do this, open the App and then click on the "Gear" icon (iPhone) or the "bell" icon (Android), in the top left corner. There will be a list of notification categories. Go to Interfaces Maintenance and set to ON.
  • The Dashboard displays the number of Pending Requests, Open and Closed Requests for the Maintenance (User).
