Introducing the Taskboard, a new way to see tasks. The Taskboard is calendar-driven so that you can add due dates to areas (or rooms), issues, and "general tasks", a new task type. Everything with a due date will show up in the Taskboard. Also, introducing housekeeping rule management, now you can add your own rules for housekeeping. This release supports for the first time different subscription packages. All new features in version #2.0 are listed in more detail below.

Web App

1. Taskboard: As a user, you will see a new item called the "Taskboard" in the top menu. When clicked, you will see an overview of all tasks that are due today. For tasks to display in the Taskboard, you either assign users or add a due date. A new button is now visible when viewing area details and issue details where you can add a due date. Also, a new kind of task has been added, called a "general task," which supports unplanned tasks such as "Guest needs towels".

The Taskboard has three lanes, "Due today", "Assigned", and "Done" that support a complete overview of today's tasks or for the day selected. Tasks can be planned for the future by adding a due date or assigning users, and they will show up on the selected day. At the end of the day, the goal is to have everything in the "Done" lane. Tasks that have a due date in the past will also show up on today's Taskboard. The Taskboard supports better task management; you can decide to either implement a task today or schedule it for the future. Workload filters have been added to all lanes to support more clarity. All the icons at the top of the workload section are clickable and, when clicked, will filter the tasks in the lane. The tasks for all lanes are ordered as follows:

  1. Priority tops all types

  2. General tasks

  3. Issue tasks

  4. Housekeeping tasks

  5. Within housekeeping tasks, ordered by a) "check-in", b) "turnover", c) "stayover-80", d) "stayover-50", e) "check-out", f) "vacant"

  6. Within equal general tasks, ordered by last updated

  7. Within equal issue tasks, ordered by last updated

  8. Within equal housekeeping tasks, ordered by name

2. Housekeeping rules management: As an admin, you can now press the "Settings" in the top menu, where you will find "Rules". When pressed, you will be able to see all active rules as well as create new rules.

3. Issues with due date: As a user, you can open Issues, and for all issues in the list, a due date section has been added that is identified with a new icon . If an issue has no due date, a "No due date" will be shown. If you press "New issue," a due date button has been added. Also, if you open an older issue, a due date button has been added. When assigning an issue with no due date, it will get today's date as a due date.

4. Areas with due date: As a user, you can open Housekeeping, and if an area has a due date, you will see a new icon for the selected day. If you open an area, a due date button has been added. When assigning an area with no due date, it will get today's date as a due date.

5. General tasks: As a user, you can open Taskboard, and you will see a button at the top right labeled "New task". When pressed, you can create a new "general" task with a due date. A general task must have a due date, but you can wait with assigning until the task is due or assign right away.

6. Account section As an admin, you can now press the "Settings" in the top menu, where you will find a new item called "Accounts". When pressed, you can manage your a) account name info, 2) subscription, and 3) issue settings.

7. Onboarding new users: As a new user coming into the web app for the first time, you will be greeted with a simple onboarding process. A Pronto intro video will be presented and a pointer to the Housekeeping quick guide.

8. UI overhaul: Most features should look and feel more smooth. Under "Settings", both Users and Areas are now presented as simple lists, not as cards.
