Checklists

Creating and Using Checklists

Checklists let you standardize how work gets done. You can create reusable checklist templates and attach them to tasks so your team follows the same process every time.

What checklists are for

Use checklists when a task needs:

  • A repeatable sequence of steps

  • Quality control

  • Required notes or photos

  • More detail than a simple completed status

Examples include:

  • Turnover cleaning

  • Property inspections

  • Maintenance walkthroughs

  • Restocking or setup tasks

Checklist template types


You can organize checklist templates by type:

  • Cleaning

  • Inspection

  • Maintenance

  • Other

This makes it easier to filter and reuse the right checklist for each task.

What you can do with checklists

  • Create a new checklist template

  • Search by checklist name

  • Filter by checklist type

  • Edit a checklist

  • Clone a checklist

  • Delete a checklist

How to create a checklist

  1. Open Operations > Checklists.

  2. Select Checklist.

  3. Add a name.

  4. Choose a type.

  5. Add an optional description.

  6. Add checklist items.

  7. Save the checklist.

Checklist item types


Each checklist item can be configured for the type of response you want.

Available item types:

  • Yes / No

  • Count

  • Rating

  • Condition

  • List

How each item type works

  • Yes / No: Best for pass/fail checks.

  • Count: Best for numeric totals.

  • Rating: Best for scored evaluations.

  • Condition: Best for standardized condition tracking such as good, dirty, damaged, or missing.

  • List: Best for sub-tasks that need to be completed inside one checklist item.

Checklist item settings

Each checklist item can include:

  • Label

  • Description

  • Required or optional status

  • Required photo

  • Required note

If a checklist item requires a note or photo, the item is not fully complete until that requirement is met.

Using checklists in tasks

You can attach a checklist to a task by:

  • Selecting a checklist template in the task form

  • Adding or editing checklist items directly inside the task

This gives you the flexibility to use a reusable template while still adjusting items for a specific job.

When to clone a checklist

Clone a checklist when you want to:

  • Reuse an existing checklist as a starting point

  • Create a version for a new team or workflow

  • Make changes without affecting the original template

Best practices

  • Keep checklist names clear and consistent.

  • Use template types so teams can find the right checklist quickly.

  • Use required photo and required note only when proof is important.

  • Use checklist templates for repeated work instead of rebuilding items from scratch.
