Reviewing the Unit Tasks Widget

What are Unit Tasks and how do I use them?

One of the available dashboard widgets is 'Unit Tasks.' This widget allows you to use the Nokē Smart Entry system for manager communications. Think of it as a digital to-do list to assist with facility operations.

There are three ways to create unit tasks in the NSE system:
  • Automated Tasks: System-generated tasks for follow-up items..
  • Facility Tasks: Employee-created tasks via the Web Portal or manager's mobile app, including prepping units for re-leasing, cleaning after move-out, app onboarding, monitoring tenant activity or notifications, and addressing maintenance issues
  • Tenant Tasks: Tenant-created tasks via the tenant's mobile app, including "can't access my unit," "car parked in front of my unit," and similar issues.

Note: These unit tasks are only viewable by users with the "View Tasks" permission, which is granted by default to roles at the Employee level or higher.

You can create a new 'Unit Task' by navigating to the unit in the Web Portal.

Under the 'Tasks' section on the 'Unit Details' page, click the '+ (plus)' icon.

Click the '+ (plus)' icon, to open a new form. Fill out the form and click 'Add Task'.

  • Heading: What is the descriptive title of this task?
  • Description: What needs to be done in order to complete this task?
  • Assigned User: Who do you want to complete this task?
  • Due Date: What date do you want this to be completed?

Note: When a task is Overdue (e.g., the due date has passed), the Unit Task is highlighted with a red exclamation point next to it.

When viewing the dashboard on the 'Home' page, a list of all active 'Unit Tasks' that need to be completed displays. When you click on one of the tasks in that widget, a window like this opens:

Clicking the 'Pencil' icon in the top right corner lets you edit the form.

Clicking the 'Image' icon in the top right corner lets you add an image.

Clicking the '+ (plus)' icon in the middle of the form (to the right of Comments) you can add additional comments or updates on the task, as needed.

Notice in this screenshot that the task has an added image (top left) as well as a comment.

By clicking on the unit's name located in the top left corner, you will be directed to the 'Unit Details' page of that particular unit. Here, you can view all the relevant information regarding the unit, including the assigned task.

When you have completed the things that need to be done for this 'Unit Task', mark the task as 'Complete'. 

The below icon represents that the 'Unit Task' was created by the system on automation.

The Person icon below represents that the 'Unit Task' was created by a Nokē Smart Entry Support user.

Tip: You can also view and create unit tasks from the manager's mobile app.
