AppWork's Thanksgiving Update!
This Thanksgiving, We’re Serving Up a Platter of Features!
Imagine a make ready board stuffed with powerful new filters, subscriptions as sweet as pumpkin pie, and automated inspections as satisfying as the perfect slice of turkey. And we didn’t stop there — from real-time parts notifications to simplified work order management, this release is all about giving you more time to kick back and enjoy the season (or, you know, that second helping of mashed potatoes). So grab a fork and dig into these delicious updates designed to make your work a whole lot easier and a little more festive! 🍁
🎛️ Filter, Filter, Filter!
Introducing dynamic make ready board filters! Now you can refine your make ready board view to see exactly the units you need — whether you're hunting for a specific floor plan, looking at tagged units, or zeroing in on move-in/move-out dates. With these filters, your make ready board isn’t just organized; it’s your very own magic sorting hat.
💻 LIVE Make Ready Board Updates
The make ready board is no longer static! It now auto-updates in real time as tasks are being completed, so you’re always looking at the most up-to-date information. Use it as a standalone display board to replace those old marker boards.
📬 Make Ready Subscriptions - Even More Possibilities!
Imagine getting an email that shows you all the units scheduled to move in this week but not quite ready. Or maybe you want a list of units under renovation? With our new make ready subscriptions based on the new filters, you can get all these updates right in your inbox. Infinite possibilities to help keep your finger on the pulse.
🕵️ Inspections & Make Readies, Together at Last
Inspections just got a whole lot better! You can now add inspection columns to your make ready board to track, assign, and view inspections like never before. Oh, and here’s the cherry on top — inspections can now auto-generate when units are added to the board.
📱 Goodbye, Text Overload!
Ever assign 10 work orders in one go and think, "Ahh, that felt good!"? Well, it was a little too much love for the technician, who got 10 back-to-back messages. Now, when you bulk-assign work orders, your tech will get just ONE message with all the details. One ping to rule them all!
📋 Bulk Assign Inspections? Check!
Want to assign multiple inspections to the same person? You can now bulk-assign your open inspections using the simple checkboxes. Click, assign, done. You're welcome!
📦 Real-Time Parts Notifications
Time is of the essence! Now, if a work order is marked as "waiting on parts," an email will go out immediately, giving you the info you need to order the part and get those issues sorted faster than ever. Be sure your admins enable this email for you by navigating to Settings > System Settings > Staff > (Select Staff Member) Emails.
🏠 Editing Work Orders
We’ve all been there: you create a work order and then realize… you forgot to add the unit. Gone are the days of canceling the work order and starting over! Just hit the new “Add Unit” button after creating the work order. Problem solved.
🗂️ Yardi Integration Level-Up
When a work order is completed in AppWork, we now download the entire work order timeline and attach it to the completed work order in Yardi. To enable this, visit System Settings and select the document type for us to post to.
🏢 Improved Resident Work Order Creation Page
Residents creating work orders will now see the property name alongside the logo for added clarity.
📷 Higher-Quality Inspection Image Downloads
When you download images from an inspection, they’ll now save with improved quality for sharper, clearer reporting.
🛠️ Expanded Work Order Categories
We’ve added new categories to make work order tracking even more precise:
- General: Bathroom Fixtures
- Windows and Doors: Screens, Key Fob
- Appliances: Washing Machine, Dryer
- Electric: Range Hood, Bathroom Fan
- Exterior: Patio/Balcony, Fence
- Pest Control: Routine
- Property: Amenities, Flags/Signs
- Safety: Carbon Monoxide, Gas Smell
🚀 Faster, Smoother, Stronger
We've made big improvements to keep AppWork speedy, stable, and ready whenever you are. So go ahead, put the pedal to the metal — AppWork’s ready to keep up.
🧹 Fixed Floorplan Import Issue
Resolved an issue where certain floorplans from RentManager weren’t being imported into AppWork.
⚠️ Improved Error Reporting
When things don’t go as planned, our new error reporting will ensure you get clearer details and faster resolutions.
As we wrap up this Thanksgiving release, we want to express our gratitude for each of you who use AppWork and inspire us to create, improve, and innovate. We hope these updates bring ease to your workflow and free up time to enjoy what really matters — pumpkin pie.
Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at AppWork! 🦃🍂
