In Property OS you’ll often use **maintenance** workflows: from a new issue, the app can assign a vendor, create a work order, run scheduling, and update statuses. Other workflow types (e.g. leasing, tenant engagement, vendor management) may be available depending on your organization. Issue detail with “Start workflow” or “Run workflow” ## How to run a workflow on an issue 1. Open **Operations** → **Issues** (or **Maintenance** → **Issues**) and select an issue. 2. Find **Start workflow** or **Run workflow**. 3. Choose the workflow (e.g. default maintenance workflow). 4. Confirm. The app creates a **workflow run** and runs the steps (e.g. assign vendor, create work order, start scheduling). 5. Follow progress on the issue or in a workflow runs list. When it’s done, the issue status may update (e.g. In Progress, Resolved). ## What the workflow does Steps depend on how your org set up the workflow. A typical maintenance workflow: * Assigns a vendor or creates a work order. * Starts **scheduling** (vendor proposes times, tenant responds). * Creates an appointment when both agree. * Updates the issue status and may send notifications (email or in-app). ## If something fails If a run shows **Failed** or stops, check the run detail or the issue’s activity feed. Often it’s missing data (e.g. no vendor, no unit) or permissions. Fix and run again if needed. See [From issue to resolution](/property-os/how-to-issue-to-resolution) for the full path from creating an issue to closing it.
