Maintenance Locations

The (maintenance) Locations command is used to enter the different types of maintenance locations at your property - areas where the maintenance may be needed (such as hall, bathroom, bedroom, etc). Any maintenance locations entered into Skyware using the Maintenance Locations screen may be assigned when creating maintenance work orders, and help to direct your maintenance workers to the area of your property they need to be in to complete the necessary maintenance.

The (maintenance) Locations command is found on the Maintenance Configuration Menu, reached via the Property System Configuration Menu.
