October 2017 Release Notes

October 2017 Release Notes – Major Work Order enhancements!

Greetings,

We’re excited to share our new updates and improvements to the work orders, the newly released vendor app, and more!  

  1. Work Order Management

    • Work order notification and assignment e-mails include a link to generate PDF work orders.  What’s the best part of it, you ask? Let’s say you received a work order email five days ago, but only had the opportunity to take a look at it today.  The PDF generated is a live report, meaning that it has the most current information as of today, not five days ago.
    • Work order printouts now include manager and vendor contact information.
    • A visibility toggle has been implemented to show only comments in the ticket view.  Managers and staff can now easily switch the view between all “comments” and all “updates”.
    • Managers and staff can now add detailed instructions to job details when creating a ticket.
    • Physical location of a work order ticket are now pulled from the accounting software and can be updated if incorrect.
    • Company-level contact information field is now added to a work order.
    • Visual improvements have been made to the work order history section and the work order emails for better navigation and readability.
  2. Vendor Management 

    • Automated emails to vendors now include a link to generate work order PDF reports.
    • Visual improvements have been made to the user interface to enhance user navigation and app performance.
    • Managers can now delete any unnecessary vendor sets that were previously added.
  3. Resident Portal

    • When a resident updates their email address, Pilera now checks against a greater number of unique domains to verify the email address is correct.
  4. Community Info

    • Managers can now update office hours to multiple communities at once to save work and time.
