What can each preventative-maintenance schedule record?
A schedule can record a title, description, frequency, custom cadence when needed, equipment type, location, next due date, assigned staff member, notes, and ordered checklist items. It remains scoped to the selected hotel.
When does a scheduled item become a work order?
Hotel Central checks scheduled instances that are due within seven days, including overdue instances that are still actionable. For an active schedule, it creates one linked pending Maintenance work order and records the link on the preventative-maintenance instance so the same instance is not created twice.
Do checklist steps carry into the work order?
Yes. When Hotel Central creates a linked work order from a preventative-maintenance instance, the schedule's ordered checklist items are copied to that work order as pending steps. The current PM checklist model does not make photo evidence a required part of those steps.
What happens when the linked work order is completed?
Hotel Central marks the linked preventative-maintenance instance complete, records the completing staff member and completion time, updates location-level history, calculates the next due date from the completion date, and creates the next scheduled instance while the schedule remains active.
Can staff see overdue, upcoming, completed, and skipped work?
The schedules overview separates overdue work from upcoming work, groups upcoming due dates into this week, 30 days, 60 days, and later, and shows recently completed records. Staff can also skip a cycle; Hotel Central advances the next due date and cancels the active linked work order when one exists.
How is one hotel's maintenance data kept separate from another's?
Preventative-maintenance schedules, instances, checklist items, work orders, and history are read and changed in the authenticated user's effective hotel context. Assigned users must be active members of that hotel.
