(Senior) Manage Cleaning Tasks

This article is for senior lab operators only. It will help you understand how to create, edit, and assign cleaning tasks in a particular lab.
Instructions
To get to the cleaning tasks area, click the Schedule dropdown menu in the navigation bar, then select Cleaning Tasks.
On that screen, the default lab will be the first one in the list. You can switch to the correct lab by clicking Switch Lab on the top right or just scrolling down, then specifying the lab and semester you want.
At this point, you’ll see the schedule for that lab during that semester. While lab operators can complete cleaning tasks at any point throughout the week (before Sunday morning), the idea is that you “assign” a task to a specific shift to keep things organized and prevent disruptions due to reservations or generally busy times.
Click on a shift you’d like to assign a cleaning task to. In this example, I’m going to gently assign a back lab cleaning task to a weekend shift because I know there won’t be a reservation during that time, but the task can really be completed at any time.
Once you click Set Up, you’ll be taken to a screen and asked to enter a Title, Description, and Color. Generally, the title should include the area or computer numbers as well as some brief descriptor of the task. Description should have a more detailed list of instructions. Color will correspond to the color on the lab map. White means the task does not apply to any specific color-coded location.
Once the task has been created, you can check its completion status on the Cleaning Task page. You can also use the Edit and Delete options in the Actions dropdown menu as needed.
