Welcome

Maintenance Technician

You keep the Maintenance module current: pick up work orders, update status as you go, and close them out. Accurate tickets drive the property's SLA score.

Access levels. For every property you're granted None, View, or Edit on PropIQ (and separately on AssetIQ). View lets you read; Edit lets you change things. If a button is missing or a page says you don't have permission, your access level is why — ask your administrator or regional manager.

Signing in

Sign in
On screen
  • Go to your Platmetrix site and open the operator app (the Client login link, or propiq.html).
  • Type your email and password.
  • Press Sign in.
What it does

Checks your credentials and opens your workspace showing only the properties and tools your role allows. Your session stays signed in on that device until you sign out.

Needs your input

You need an account created by your administrator. If you were invited by email, open that invite first and set a password. Forgotten password or no access to a property — your administrator resolves both.

Maintenance module

Your daily home.

Open Maintenance — organized by building and unit, with open tickets and SLA scoring.

Maintenance — buildings, tickets, SLA scoring.
Maintenance — buildings, tickets, SLA scoring.

Working tickets

Pick up, update, close.
Open (pick up) a work order
On screen
  • Open Maintenance.
  • Browse by building/unit or the open-tickets list.
  • Select the ticket assigned to you.
What it does

Shows the full request so you know the unit, issue, and any notes before you head out.

Needs your input

You need Edit access to change a ticket. If it's assigned to someone else, coordinate before taking it.

What’s sent
On the way
A technician is handling your request
“Good news — a technician has picked up your maintenance request and will be in touch about timing.”

Picking up a work order notifies your supervisor that you’ve confirmed the assignment, and sends the resident this heads-up that someone’s on it.

Update ticket status
On screen
  • Open the ticket.
  • Change status: Open → In progress → Complete.
  • Add a note if useful.
What it does

Records where the work stands, which updates the property scorecard and the manager's dashboard in real time.

Needs your input

Update it when the status actually changes — the SLA numbers are only as accurate as your updates. A wrong unit/detail should be noted so the record stays clean.

What’s sent
Status update
Update on your maintenance request
“There’s a new update on your request — here’s where things stand.”

Each status you set (scheduled, on the way, on hold) emails the resident so they always know what’s happening, and your supervisor sees the same timeline.

Close a ticket
On screen
  • Finish the work.
  • Mark the ticket Complete.
What it does

Closes the work order; completed-on-time tickets lift the property's grade.

Needs your input

Only close when the work is truly done — reopening skews the SLA history.

What’s sent
Completed
Your maintenance request is done
“The work on your request is complete. Let us know if anything’s off.”

Closing the ticket emails the resident that the job’s done, tells your supervisor the ticket is closed, and sends the property manager an oversight copy.

SLA & on-time

Why status matters.

The property scorecard partly reflects maintenance: open ticket count and on-time closes. The tile and portfolio dashboard show the open-ticket count live.

Update tickets the moment status changes rather than batching at day's end — managers watch these live.

Vendors & invoices

Who covers what.

Service contracts lists vendors and recurring services.

Service contracts — vendors and invoice logging.
Service contracts — vendors and invoice logging.
Log a vendor invoice
On screen
  • Open Service contracts.
  • Find the vendor/service.
  • Enter the invoice amount and details.
What it does

Records the vendor's charge so it flows into the property's expenses and the accountant can pay/track it.

Needs your input

You need Edit access. Confirm the amount against the vendor's actual invoice before logging.

What’s sent
Invoice to review
New vendor invoice logged
“A vendor invoice has been logged against a work order and is ready for review.”

Logging a vendor invoice routes it to your property manager and accounting for approval and payment, linked to the ticket it belongs to.
