Adding a Maintenance Task

Maintenance items can be added to keep track of maintenance scheduled and ad-hoc maintenance scheduling.  

Each maintenance item will display on the dashboard calendar on the due date, and all maintenance for all properties can be managed within the Maintenance Hub accessed from the dashboard screen.

Work orders and quote requests can be generated from a saved maintenance task.
