We have by default added your basic Make Ready tasks to the board, but you can craft a tailored task to suit your requirements.
Should you be in the process of renovating your kitchens or upgrading the appliances, you can create these tasks to be added to your Make Ready Board. You then decide who these tasks can be completed by, your Technician, a Vendor, and/or an Admin user, just like the default tasks already on your board.
Text Field (Custom)
Add an open text field on your board to document any crucial notes.
