The “Set up your organisation” questionnaire asks five questions about the way you work: modules, hours, rules, when a cleaning counts and the dashboard. Do it right after the company identity. Allow about 6 minutes; everything can be changed afterwards on the Organisation page.

For the detail of each module, read choose your modules. The next step of the guide: import your properties.

    • “Cleaner + manager approval”: both the cleaner and a manager are needed.
    • “On the planned date + manager approval”: on its planned date, once a manager confirms it (the cleaner's clock-in is not enough).

  4. 4

    In “Freeze rows and columns”, choose what stays visible while the table scrolls: the header and some rows at the top, the columns up to the one chosen on the left (a pin marks them in the list). With the layout applied, everyone sees them; otherwise it is the starting layout.

    Click Finish. The step is ticked in the guide: “Organisation set up”.

Frequently asked questions

Can I change an answer after “Finish”?

Yes. All the answers are in Settings › My company › Organisation, grouped by tab.

Can a manager change these settings?

No. A manager sees only the “Notifications and alerts” tab. The other tabs are reserved for administrators.

Does changing “When does a cleaning count?” alter the past?

No. Cleanings already approved keep their status; the new setting applies to the cleanings still to be counted.

Why has the guide's percentage gone down?

A module you turn on adds its steps to the guide: the percentage goes down, nothing has been undone.

Where do I change the check-out and check-in times afterwards?

In the “Jobs” tab, “Default times” block. Then click “Save times”.
