Add a “Tasks” Button Directly Inside Each Reservation
I’d like to propose a workflow improvement that would significantly streamline daily operations for OwnerRez users—especially those managing multiple properties, automations, and guest-specific workflows.
The Idea (Simple but Powerful)
Add a “Tasks” button or hyperlink directly within the reservation interface that allows users to:
-
View all tasks already associated with that reservation
-
Create new tasks tied specifically to that reservation
-
Edit or manage those tasks without leaving the reservation screen
In short: tasks where the reservation already lives.
The Current Challenge
Right now, creating or managing a task tied to a reservation requires several extra steps:
-
Navigate away from the reservation
-
Click into the main Tasks menu on the left
-
Work through multiple dropdowns
-
Select the property
-
Search for or manually identify the correct guest/reservation
While this works, it’s time-consuming and disruptive, especially when:
-
You’re mid-workflow responding to a guest
-
You need to set reminders for things like pool heat, special amenities, owner requests, or mid-stay check-ins
-
You’re managing many short stays where tasks are frequent and time-sensitive
This friction adds up quickly in a system that otherwise excels at efficiency.
Why This Matters
OwnerRez is already incredibly strong at reservation-centric management. Tasks are often triggered by or directly related to a specific reservation, so separating them into a different navigation flow feels like an unnecessary disconnect.
A reservation-level Tasks button would:
-
Reduce clicks and cognitive load
-
Keep users focused in one workspace
-
Minimize errors caused by selecting the wrong guest or property
-
Encourage better task usage overall (because it’s easier)
For power users running tight operations, this would be a meaningful quality-of-life upgrade.
Suggested Implementation (Flexible)
This could be implemented in a few ways, for example:
-
A “Tasks” tab or button alongside Charges, Emails, and Notes within a reservation
-
A contextual link like “View / Add Tasks for this Reservation”
-
Auto-prefill of reservation + property when creating a task from that view
Even a lightweight implementation would deliver immediate value.
Call to Action 🙌
If you’ve ever:
-
Wished tasks were easier to tie directly to a reservation
-
Found yourself clicking back and forth just to schedule a simple reminder
-
Manage detailed, reservation-specific workflows

Hi Patricia,
As of the release on 2/18/2026 of the remodeled Bookings > Overview page, Tasks are now on that page!
Michael, the tasks section you are referring to is in the OwnerRez internal portal. I believe what the OP is requesting is the ability for a property Owner or a guest to create a task, such as "my AC unit is not cooling." I do not see in the system where this Owner/Guest-based task is an option.
