+Services
+========
+
+To properly maintain a fleet of vehicles, regular maintenance as well as periodic repairs are
+needed. Scheduling repairs and managing services for an entire fleet is necessary to ensure all
+vehicles are in good working order when they are needed.
+
+Create a service record
+=======================
+
+To log a service, go to the main services dashboard by navigating to :menuselection:`Fleet app -->
+Fleet --> Services`. Click :guilabel:`Create` and a service form appears. Fill in the information on
+the form and click :guilabel:`Save`. The only two fields that are required to be populated are
+:guilabel:`Service Type` and :guilabel:`Vehicle`.
+
+The fields are:
+
+- :guilabel:`Description`: enter in a short description of the service.
+- :guilabel:`Service Type`: select the type of service performed from the drop-down menu, or type in
+  a new type of service and click either :guilabel:`Create` or :guilabel:`Create & Edit...`. This
+  list is not pre-configured in Odoo. When creating a fleet and logging a service, the types of
+  service need to be created.
+- :guilabel:`Date`: using the calendar module, select the date the service was provided or is
+  scheduled to be performed. Navigate to the desired month using the left and right arrow icons,
+  then click on the date to select it.
+- :guilabel:`Cost`: enter the cost of the service.
+- :guilabel:`Vendor`: select the vendor who performed the service from the drop-down menu. If the
+  vendor has not already been entered in the system, type in the vendor name and click either
+  :guilabel:`Create` to add them, or :guilabel:`Create & Edit...` to create the vendor and edit the
+  vendor form. The vendor form allows for other details aside form the name to be entered, such as
+  contact information.
+- :guilabel:`Vehicle`: select the vehicle that was serviced from the drop-down menu. When the
+  vehicle is selected, the :guilabel:`Driver` field is populated, and the unit of measure for the
+  :guilabel:`Mileage` field appears.
+- :guilabel:`Driver`: the current driver listed for the selected vehicle is populated when the
+  :guilabel:`Vehicle` is selected. If the driver needs to be changed, another driver can be selected
+  from the drop-down menu.
+- :guilabel:`Odometer Value`: enter the odometer reading when the service was done. The units of
+  measure will either be in kilometers (:guilabel:`km`) or miles (:guilabel:`mi`). When the
+  :guilabel:`Vehicle` is selected, the units of measure is populated. This comes from the vehicle
+  form. To change from kilometers to miles, or vice versa, click the :guilabel:`External Link`
+  button next to the vehicle selected in the :guilabel:`Vehicle` field. Change the unit of measure,
+  then click :guilabel:`Save`. the unit of measure will be updated in the :guilabel:`Odometer Value`
+  field.
+- :guilabel:`Notes`: enter any notes for the repair in the notes tab at the bottom of the service
+  form.

+
+List of services
+================
+
+To view all services logged in the database, including old and new requests, go to
+:menuselection:`Fleet application --> Fleet --> Services`. All services appear in a list view,
+including all the details for each service.
+
+Each service listed displays the following information:
+
+- :guilabel:`Date`: the date service or repair was performed or is requested to be performed.
+- :guilabel:`Description`: a short description of the specific type of service or repair performed
+  to clarify the specific service.
+- :guilabel:`Service Type`: the service or repair performed. This is selected from a list of
+  services that must be configured.
+- :guilabel:`Vehicle`: the specific vehicle the service was performed on.
+- :guilabel:`Driver`: who the current driver is for the vehicle.
+- :guilabel:`Vendor`: the specific vendor who performed the service or repair.
+- :guilabel:`Cost`: the total cost for the service or repair.
+- :guilabel:`Notes`: any information associated with the service or repair that is documented to add
+  clarification.
+- :guilabel:`Stage`: the status of the service or repair. Options are :guilabel:`New`,
+  :guilabel:`Running`, :guilabel:`Canceled`, or :guilabel:`Done`.

+
+View services
+-------------
+
+It is recommended to view the list of services in one of several pre-configured ways to better view
+the information presented. In the top right corner of the list, there are several icons that when
+clicked, sort the data in different ways.
+
+.. image:: service/views.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: The icons in the top right corner than cn be clicked to present the information in
+         different ways.
+
+List view
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+The default view of the services is the list view. This presents all the services in chronological
+order, from oldest to newest, in a list.
+
+The information can be sorted by any column. At the top of each column, hover over the column name.
+An arrow appears to the right of the name. Click the arrow to sort the data by that specific column.
+
+The default sorting is descending alphabetical order (A to Z). Click the arrow again to reverse the
+order, and go in reverse alphabetical order (Z to A). The one exception to this sorting is the
+default :guilabel:`Date` column, which sorts the information in chronological order (January to
+December) instead of alphabetical order.
+
+Kanban view
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To view services by their stage, click on the :guilabel:`Kanban icon`, which is the second icon in
+the top right, and appears as four black squares in a cube.
+
+All the services with the same status appear in the corresponding column, from :guilabel:`Running`
+to :guilabel:`Cancelled`. To change the status of a service, simply click and drag the service card
+to the desired stage.
+
+Graph view
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Another way to view the data is in a graph. To view the graph, click the :guilabel:`Graph icon`,
+which is the third icon in the top right, and appears as a small graph.
+
+The graph displays the information in a graph where the X axis represents the :guilabel:`Date` and
+the Y axis represents the :guilabel:`Cost`. Each column represents a single month, and then is
+further organized by vehicle. Each vehicle is represented by a different color, and each month's bar
+is divided by each vehicle.
+
+Pivot view
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The final way to view the service data is in a spreadsheet pivot table. Click on the
+:guilabel:`Pivot icon`, which is the last icon in the top right, and appears as a small spreadsheet.
+
+The data presented in the table shows the cost of each service or repair. The rows represent the
+vendors, and each vehicle that was serviced by them appears beneath each vendor. The column
+represent the different service types performed.
+
+The table can be inserted in a spreadsheet or downloaded. To add the pivot table to a spreadsheet in
+Odoo, click :guilabel:`Insert In Spreadsheet` and a pop-up appears. Select the spreadsheet the data
+should be added to from the drop-down menu, and click :guilabel:`Confirm`. The spreadsheet then
+loads on the screen. The spreadsheets are stored in Odoo's *Documents* application. To download the
+table in an `xlsx` format, click the :guilabel:`Download` icon.

+         Documents application.
