The **Requests** feature lets residents and owners submit requests directly to their board, management team, or maintenance staff from a single, centralized page. Requests can include a category, subject, description, and optional file attachments.
## Purpose
Requests provide a structured way to communicate issues, questions, and service needs so they can be tracked, assigned, and resolved efficiently — replacing scattered emails and phone calls.
## Key Concepts
- **Request** — A submission sent to the board, management, or maintenance.
- **Category** — A predefined classification that helps route the request to the right team (e.g., maintenance, administrative, billing).
- **Subject** — A short title summarizing the request.
- **Description** — The detailed explanation of the issue or question.
- **Attachments** — Optional files (photos, documents) that provide supporting context.
## Prerequisites
- An active user account with access to the Requests page.
- Permission to submit requests within your community or property.
## Available Guides

## Common Use Cases
- Reporting a maintenance issue (e.g., leaking faucet, broken light) with photos attached.

- Submitting a service request to management with supporting documents.
## Additional Notes
- Files can be added either by clicking **Choose File** or by dragging and dropping them into the upload area.
- Always select the most appropriate category to ensure your request reaches the correct team quickly.
