Service reminders

Overview

Service reminders in Loopit help ensure timely maintenance by notifying you when a service is due. Setting up service reminders involves three main steps:

  1. Define the service plan template.

  2. Add a service schedule to an asset.

  3. Set up alerts for when a service is due.

Steps

1

Define the service plan template

A service plan template determines the rules for triggering service reminders.

It can be:

  • Time-based: e.g., every 12 months

  • Odometer-based: e.g., every 10,000 km (increments of 10,000 km, such as 10,000, 20,000, 30,000)

To Create a Service Plan Template:

  1. Navigate to /settings/service-plans.

  2. Click New Service Plan.

  3. Fill out the form with the relevant details and click Save.

2

Add Service Schedule to an asset

To apply the service plan to an asset:

  1. Go to the asset, select the Services tab, then go to the Schedules sub-tab.

  2. Click the + button in the top right corner and select Service Schedule.

  3. In the dialog, select the start date and the service plan defined in Step 1, then click Save.

3

Set up alerts for when a service is due

Configure an alert to notify you when a service is due on an asset.

  1. Navigate to /settings/workflows.

  2. Use the predefined template to create a task.

  3. Select Asset Service Reminder Created.

  4. (Optional) Edit the workflow to send email alerts.
