Maintenance Guide
Maintenance work in Argonautas is tracked as tasks. The Maintenance link in the sidebar opens the Tasks board filtered to maintenance work, so you can see every open repair at a glance.
What Counts as Maintenance
The Maintenance view shows tasks of these types:
- Maintenance
- Repair
- Preventive Maintenance
Pool Service, Garden Maintenance, and Inspection tasks have their own types and don't appear here. Find them with the All Types filter on the board.
