To-Dos
TIDY offers amazing digital to-do lists that allow you to show a Pro exactly what you want done or how you want it done. It is very fast to start using To-Dos, but they are powerful enough to let you go into great detail. Examples include:
- Clean the floor
- Take out the trash
- Put in this pool chemical
Basically anything you want. We generally recommend adding enough detail so your Pro can know what to do and how to do it. But, a picture is worth a thousand words, so most of the time if you are writing a lot, we recommend adding a photo instead. See more below.
To-Do Options
If your To-do matches a known category, we will show the most popular options for that category that we have seen. Selecting the right options can really clarify exactly how you want something done, as no two people are alike.
Most Important
Typically, most people have a few things that are very important to get done right. We recommend marking these as "Most Important", which will highlight them for your Pro.
Photo Notes
You can add "Photo Notes" to any to-do to describe visually what you want done. This can be really helpful!
To add a photo, tap on the to-do you wish to provide visual guidance for, and then tap on "Add Photo"
Custom Fields
Custom Fields are a way for you to collect information from pros who are on-site. This is commonly used for Restocking or for Inspections. You can see more details here.
Time Estimates
When you first add a To-do, we do the best we can to match it to existing To-dos like it and estimate the time based on what is most commonly estimated by others. While this works great on average, no property is really average :) So just note there will be variability depending on what exactly you want done and what condition your home is in. For example, a To-do to "Wash Dishes" can vary if there is 1 plate and a dish washer vs 100 and none.
If you see a time estimate that looks incorrect, we do recommend adjusting that! It will only help ensure we give you better results, and help everyone learn more.
To-Do Progress
You can see the progress of the tasks being completed by your Pro in real-time. To do that, go to the Schedule section and tap on the job itself. There, you'll see updates from the Pro — like when they arrive on-site and begin the job — and you'll be able to track the task's progress in real time as they update it on their end. You will also see the photos and videos attached, if any.
Performed tasks will be displayed as a green checkbox, while unperformed tasks will be displayed as a red checkbox.
Complete To-Do
Completed to-do lists are emailed to you as part of your job certificate. You can also view and edit completed tasks for each individual job with all the needed inspections provided by your Pro in the "Job History" section of your account, located in the "More" menu.
