A Service Action is like a package of items - compliance forms, documents, and inventory items - that you can attach to a task checklist or a client asset, to save your Field staff having to search for the forms, docs and materials they use most often.

• Streamline periodic asset servicing by adding service actions to individual assets
• Easily apply discounts or additional charges from the task checklist
• Give your staff a shortcut to just those documents, forms and materials they need.

There are three steps to setting up service actions:

1. Create a service action group to serve as a 'container' for the individual service actions
2. Create the individual service actions and add the necessary documents, forms and inventory items to them
3. Link the service action group to one of your task checklists or to an asset.

The sections below describe this process in detail.

Create a service action group

To create a new service action group:

1. Go to Site Admin > Settings > Tasks.
2. Click Service Actions.
3. Click the (plus) icon.
4. Enter a group name, e.g. AC Maintenance, Exit Lighting, Fire Services, and click Create.
5. Optional: If your site has multiple business units, you can share service action groups by checking the boxes for each business unit.
6. Click Save Service Action Group.

 

Create service actions

To create the individual service actions:

1. Within your service action group, click Create Action.
2. Enter a description of the service action.
3. Enter a reference code and click Create.
4. On the Compliance Forms tab, click Add Form. Find the form by using the search filters and double-click to add the form.
5. On the Documents tab, click either:
   1. Add Document, to upload a new document from outside your AroFlo site, or
   2. Document Directory, to attach existing documents stored in AroFlo.
6. On the Inventory tab, click Add Item. Find the inventory item by using the search filters and double-click to add the item. Update the Quantity field as needed.
7. Click Save.

Link service actions to checklists or assets

You can make your service actions available for use by linking them to either a task checklist or an asset, or to both:

Extra Efficiency with Periodics
Once you've set up service actions and linked them to your assets, you can link those assets to your Periodic task templates. This will save your Field staff having to add the assets to their scheduled maintenance tasks each time.
