A busy facility can generate dozens of tasks per day. MaintIQ gives you filters and sorts so a 60-row list collapses into the five things you need to do right now.
Where the filters live
Above the task list there is a horizontal filter bar with five chips:
- Cadence — Daily, Weekly, Monthly, On demand
- Assignee — Me, Anyone, or a specific teammate
- Status — Pending, In progress, Complete, Skipped, Overdue
- Area — kitchen, mech room, roof, exterior, etc. (whatever your admin defined)
- SOP linked — Yes / No
Click a chip, pick values, click outside to apply. Filters stack — the list narrows progressively as you add more.
Sorting
At the right end of the filter bar is a Sort by dropdown. Options:
- Due time (earliest first) — the default
- Priority — P1 work orders rise to the top
- Cadence — daily duties first, then weekly, then monthly
- Recently updated — useful when you want to see what a teammate just touched
Saved views
Once you have a filter combination you use every shift, click Save view at the right edge of the filter bar. Name it (for example, "My morning rounds") and it becomes a one-click chip above the filter bar.
Saved views are personal — your saved views do not show up on a teammate's screen.
Skipping and deferring tasks
When a task cannot be completed:
- Skip records that the task was intentionally not done and asks for a reason. The history entry preserves who skipped it and why.
- Defer pushes a task to the next available slot in its cadence. Use this when a part is on order, or the equipment is down.
Both actions appear in History so admins can spot patterns.
Recurring task templates
If you find yourself creating the same one-off task every week, ask an admin to promote it to a recurring template in Admin → Cadences. Templates auto-generate the task on the schedule you choose, so nobody has to remember.
