Services List

The default list is made of the industry-standard services. And focuses on the name of the Service.

Service Code needs to be unique in the system and is an identifier for the system to use. The Service Description is what your users see and reference when entering time, along with what can be readily visible in reports and on client invoices.

Editing Services

When you click on a row, you can edit the visible fields. However, you can then also click the 4 arrows icon to expand the row.

With the row expanded, you can edit more details, such as Hourly Rate and Sales Account.

Edit Columns

You can edit the default list so more fields are visible. This is done by clicking on More and then choosing System Settings.

Then click on Edit Columns

At which point you can choose which columns of data you want to show and the order to display them.

Here is an example with the Hourly Rate and Sales Account now in the default list.

Replace Service

This option will replace any open task assignments with this service or employee records who have this selected in their list of services, and replace it with the service you choose. An example that would benefit this is; if you make a service inactive and because it was assigned on project templates and active projects, we want to replace it throughout with active service. NOTE: There is no undo option. And this will replace all active assignments to this service, so be very careful when using it.

From the More option, choose Replace Service.

Choose the Service to be replaced and the New Service that will take over for it.

Adding a New Service Down The Road

Be aware that if you add a new Service to the system after you are already set up and using the system. You will want to check a few things to make sure the Rates you want are being used.

The most common issue is that the new Service will appear on all Service Rate Sheets. But it will start with a Rate of zero, even if you add a rate to the Service itself.

Also, review your projects Get Rate From settings, so you can track down where this service may need to be updated.

If the time has already been entered before fully updating the setup of the Service, then you will need to press Recalculate Labor Rates on all projects where there is an issue.
