Task Assignment

When the ROOMS MANAGEMENT > TASK ASSIGNMENT application function is set to Y, the Task Assignment menu option is visible and allows you to generate daily Task Assignment reports for one or more Housekeeping employees. The report includes information on assigned rooms, detailed task instructions, and employee identification. Manual changes to the room distribution can be made should they be necessary before printing the assigned Task Sheets. This report can then be distributed in hard copy to the individual employees on a daily basis.

Note: For a simplified version of the Task Assignment feature, set the ROOMS MANAGEMENT > TASK ASSIGNMENT application function to N, and set the ROOMS MANAGEMENT > SIMPLE TASK ASSIGNMENT application function is set to Y. The Expanded button from the Housekeeping screen allows you to automatically generate daily task Task Assignment sheets by number of attendants, by facility tasks, or by maximum number of credits. Rooms are listed in numerical order on each separate Task Sheet. This is driven by the room status and FO status filters. See Housekeeping Management for details.

Use the Housekeeping Task Assignment process to generate Task Sheets for an individual attendant, a group of attendants, or all available attendants on a daily basis. The sheets may be generated automatically in which case the rooms may be evenly distributed to the available attendants or distributed based on a maximum number of credits per attendant. Alternatively, new Task Assignment sheets can be created manually by selecting attendants and individual rooms.

Select Rooms Management > Housekeeping > Task Assignment. The Task Assignment Overview screen appears.
