1. Submitting Requests for Residents
Staff members can submit concierge requests, such as pet services or valet cleaning, on behalf of residents through the back-office panel.

- Initiation: Click the Add Request button in the top right corner.
- Selection: Search for the resident by name or apartment number.
- Details: Select the request category to open a drop-down for specific service items.

Submission Options:
- Save & Exit: Saves the request and returns to the main grid.
- Save & New Request: Saves the request and loads a new blank form while keeping the selected requester.
- Save & Start Payment: Saves the request and initiates the Square payment flow.
2. Processing & Status Management
Administrators use the request grid to monitor the lifecycle of community tasks and keep residents updated.
- Notifications: New requests are identified by an orange dot and a numerical counter in the sidebar.
- Grid Overview: The grid displays the client name, contact info, request date, category, and price.
- Status Updates: You can update the resident on progress by changing the status in the action category.
- Available Statuses: These include In preparation, Confirmed, In progress, Ready, Done, Canceled, and Declined.
- Closing Tasks: To complete and close a request, select Done from the list of action items.
3. Editing Concierge Details
If a resident’s needs change or additional information is provided, staff can update open requests directly.
- Opening Requests: Select the specific request that needs modification from the main concierge list.
- Identifying Editable Fields: Once the request is open, items that can be changed will display a pencil icon.
- Available Edits: Staff can modify the scheduled date, answers to specific questions, special requests, and billable status.
- Saving: After editing, ensure you click the Save button at the bottom of the section being modified.
4. Recurring Requests & Auto-Billing
For ongoing services like dog walking, staff can establish automated recurring patterns and billing.
- Recurring Patterns: Requests with scheduled dates can be set to recur following a specific daily or monthly pattern.
- Staff Only: Only team members can set up recurring requests; residents cannot create them independently.
- Automatic Billing: Recurring requests that require no additional staff interaction can be set for automatic billing.
- Invoicing: When Auto-charge is enabled, the request is set to "Done" on the planned day and the invoice is created automatically.
