How work-order triage works
Category, priority, emergency flag, duplicate check and a vendor suggestion - before you open the request.
Every new maintenance request gets a first pass before anyone on your team opens it. By the time it reaches your queue it carries a category, a priority and an emergency flag - so a gas smell never waits in line behind a squeaky door.
What arrives with every request
- A category and priority, with the reasoning shown next to the suggestion.
- An emergency flag when the description reads urgent - gas, flooding, no heat, and the like.
- A duplicate check against the unit's open tickets, so a second vendor is never dispatched to the same leak.
- A vendor suggestion from your own roster when a trade clearly fits - never a stranger.
Your team stays the decision-maker
-
1
Open the request: the suggested category, priority and vendor are prefilled, not committed.
-
2
Accept, adjust or override any of them - assignment only happens when you assign.
-
3
Your call is recorded next to the suggestion it answered, and the correction is kept.
The guardrails
- Suggestions, never autopilot: nothing is assigned, dispatched or closed without a person.
- If a suggestion can't be made, PropFlow falls back to its built-in rules - intake never stops.
- Every suggestion is recorded and reviewable, with the exact input it saw.
- Your data stays in PropFlow and never trains anyone else's software.
The more your team corrects, the closer triage tracks your standards - month six is sharper than day one.
