Product Updates - Version 4.2.20 - Work Schedules and Enhanced Work Order Assignment

Updated over a week ago

RueBaRue now offers Work Schedules along with expanded assignment capabilities inside Work Orders. This update helps teams assign work more intelligently, track availability accurately, and provide clearer ownership—without adding complexity.

1) Define Standard Work Schedules

You can now create structured schedules for maintenance staff, inspectors, property managers, and other team members:

  • Set predefined hours (e.g., 9 AM – 5 PM)

  • Customize hours by day of the week

  • Create different schedules for different roles

This establishes a clear baseline of availability for your team, making it easier to plan and assign tasks.

2) Track Exceptions & Time Off

Work Schedules also allow you to capture exceptions, such as:

  • Doctor appointments or partial-day absences

  • Vacation days

  • Working on normally off days

  • Temporary schedule adjustments

Now, when assigning tasks, you’ll know who is actually available, not just who exists in the system.

3) Smarter Work Order Assignment

Inside Work Orders, a new icon next to the “Assigned To” field opens your Work Schedule view, allowing you to:

  • See who is available

  • See who is off

  • See who already has tasks scheduled

  • Select one or more internal resources

External vendors or contacts can still be assigned as before, but internal scheduling is now far more intelligent.

4) New “Manager” Field

For larger organizations, a Manager field has been added:

  • Assign work orders to a property manager

  • Allow them to reassign tasks to maintenance staff

  • Provide clearer ownership across teams

This feature helps multi-property and multi-team organizations operate more smoothly.


5) New “My Tasks” View (Desktop)

A new My Tasks page is available on desktop, letting team members:

  • See tasks assigned to them

  • Focus on what needs attention

  • Reduce missed work

Note: Work Schedules and My Tasks will be rolled out on mobile in the next 2–3 weeks.


Why This Matters

With Work Schedules, RueBaRue continues evolving into a true Guest Operations Hub, connecting messaging, tasks, accountability, and team coordination in one place. This ensures your team works smarter, not harder.
