Scheduled Service Configuration

Scheduled services for the resource system represent an order for services that are intended to take place on a specific instrument at a given time. Schedules services may be configured to have as many selectable rates as desired. Configuration of a scheduled service is broken down into a number of sections identified below.

Creating a new service

A new service can be created by clicking the "Create New Service" button located above the service list search box

Newly created services will not exist until saved after initial configuration. This means that some functionality that needs an id number such as creating service rates will not be available until the user click the "Save" button to save a newly created service.
