+# 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.
+
+.. _fleet/service-form:
+
+# Create service records
+
+To log a service for a vehicle, go to the main :guilabel:`Services` dashboard by navigating to
+:menuselection:`Fleet app --> Fleet --> Services`. Open a new service form by clicking the
+:guilabel:`New` button in the top-left corner.
+
+Fill out the information on the form. The only two fields that are required to be populated are
+:guilabel:`Service Type` and :guilabel:`Vehicle`.
+
+The service form automatically saves as data is entered. However, the form can be saved manually at
+any time by clicking the :guilabel:`Save manually` option, represented by a :guilabel:`(cloud
+upload)` icon.
+
+The fields on the form are:
+
+- :guilabel:`Description`: enter a brief description of the service.
+- :guilabel:`Service Type`: select the type of service performed using the drop-down menu. Or, enter
+  a new type of service, and click either :guilabel:`Create "service type"` or :guilabel:`Create and
+  edit...` to :ref:`add the service type and configure it <fleet/new-type>`.
+
+  > **important**:
+>      :guilabel:`Service Types` are **not** pre-configured in Odoo. When logging a service for the
+     first time, the *type* of service needs to be :ref:`created <fleet/new-type>` before it can be
+     selected.
+
+- :guilabel:`Date`: using the calendar popover window, select the date the service was provided, or
+  is scheduled to be performed. Navigate to the desired month using the :guilabel:`< > (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 using 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 and edit...` to :ref:`add and configure the
+  vendor <fleet/new-vendor>`.
+- :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:`Odometer Value` 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 are either in kilometers (:guilabel:`km`) or miles (:guilabel:`mi`), depending on how the
+  selected vehicle was configured.
+
+  When the :guilabel:`Vehicle` is selected, the unit of measure for this field is populated. This
+  comes from the vehicle form.
+
+  > **tip**:
+>      To change from kilometers to miles, or vice versa, click the :guilabel:`Internal Link` button
+     to the right of the vehicle selected in the :guilabel:`Vehicle` field.
+
+     Change the unit of measure, then navigate back to the service form, via the breadcrumb links.
+     The unit of measure is then updated in the :guilabel:`Odometer Value` field.
+
+- :guilabel:`Notes`: enter any notes for the repair at the bottom of the service form.
+
+.. image:: service/new-service.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: Enter the information for a new service. The required fields are Service Type and Vehicle.
+
+.. _fleet/new-type:
+
+## Create service type
+
+Service types must be created from a service form. There is no other way to access the list of
+service types.
+
+On the :ref:`service form <fleet/service-form>`, type in the name of the new :guilabel:`Service
+Type` in the corresponding field. Then, click :guilabel:`Create and edit...`, and a
+:guilabel:`Create Service Type` pop-up form appears.
+
+The service type entered on the service form automatically populates the :guilabel:`Name` field,
+which can be modified, if desired.
+
+Then, select the :guilabel:`Category` for the new service type from the drop-down menu in that
+field. The two default options to choose from are :guilabel:`Contract` or :guilabel:`Service`.
+Additional categories **cannot** be created.
+
+If the service applies to **only** contracts or services, select the corresponding
+:guilabel:`Category`. If the service applies to **both** contracts *and* services, leave this field
+blank.
+
+When done, click :guilabel:`Save & Close`.
+
+.. _fleet/new-vendor:
+
+## Create vendor
+
+When a service is done for the first time, typically, the vendor is not in the database yet. It is
+best practice to add the full details for a vendor in the database, so that any necessary
+information can be easily retrieved.
+
+On the :ref:`service form <fleet/service-form>`, type in the name of the new :guilabel:`Vendor` in
+the corresponding field. Then, click :guilabel:`Create and edit...`, and a :guilabel:`Create
+Vendor` form appears.
+
+The vendor name entered on the service form populates the :guilabel:`Name` field, by default. This
+field can be modified, if desired.
+
+> **note**:
+>    Different tabs or fields may be visible on the :guilabel:`Create Vendor` form, depending on what
+   other applications are installed.
+
+### General information

+Fill out the following information in the top-half of the form:
+
+- :guilabel:`Individual` or :guilabel:`Company`: select whether the new vendor being added is an
+  individual or a company, by clicking the corresponding radio button.
+
+  When a selection is made, some fields may disappear from the form. If any of the fields below are
+  not visible, that is because :guilabel:`Company` was selected, instead of :guilabel:`Individual`.
+- :guilabel:`Name`: enter a name for the individual or company in this field.
+- :guilabel:`Company Name`: using the drop-down menu, select the company that the vendor is
+  associated with, if any.

+  :guilabel:`Contact`, :guilabel:`Invoice Address`, :guilabel:`Delivery Address`,
+  :guilabel:`Follow-up Address`, or :guilabel:`Other Address`.
+
+  If desired, select one of these other options for the :guilabel:`Contact` field, and enter the
+  corresponding information.
+
+  If :guilabel:`Company` is selected for the  :guilabel:`Individual` or :guilabel:`Company` field,
+  this field is labeled :guilabel:`Address`, and **cannot** be modified.
+
+- :guilabel:`Tax ID`: enter the vendor's tax ID in this field.

+
+  If the :guilabel:`Company` radio button at the top of the form is selected, this field does not
+  appear.
+- :guilabel:`Tags`: using the drop-down menu, select any tags that apply to the vendor.
+
+  To add a new tag, type in the tag, then click :guilabel:`Create "tag"`.
+
+  There is no limit to the number of tags that can be selected.
+- :guilabel:`Image`: a photo of either the main contact person, or the company logo, can be added to
+  the form. Hover over the :guilabel:`📷 (camera)` box, in the top-right of the form, to reveal a
+  :guilabel:`✏️ (pencil)` icon, and click it. A file explorer window appears. Navigate to the
+  desired file, then click :guilabel:`Open` to select it.
+
+.. image:: service/create-vendor.png

+   :alt: The top portion of the create vendor form.
+
+Contacts & Addresses tab
+************************
+
+After the top-half of the :guilabel:`Create Vendor` form is filled out, add any other contacts and
+addresses associated with the vendor in this tab.
+
+Click the :guilabel:`Add` button to add a new contact, and a :guilabel:`Create Contact` pop-up
+window appears.
+
+Select one of the appropriate contact type options from the radio buttons, located at the top of the
+pop-up window. Those options are as follows:
+
+- :guilabel:`Contact`: select this option to add general contact details for employees of the
+  associated vendor.
+- :guilabel:`Invoice Address`: select this option to add a preferred address for all invoices. When
+  added to the form, this address is selected by default when sending an invoice to the associated
+  vendor.
+- :guilabel:`Delivery Address`: select this option to add a preferred address for all deliveries.
+  When added to the form, this address is selected by default when delivering an order to the
+  associated vendor.
+- :guilabel:`Follow-up Address`: select this option to add a preferred address for all follow-up
+  correspondence. When added to the form, this address is selected by default when sending reminders
+  about overdue invoices.
+- :guilabel:`Other Address`: select this option to add any other necessary addresses for the vendor.
+
+.. image:: service/vendor-contact.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: The create contact form with all parts filled in.
+
+> **note**:
+>    If an option *other than* :guilabel:`Contact` is selected for the contact type, an
+   :guilabel:`Address` section appears on the form. Enter the address details in the
+   :guilabel:`Address` section.
+
+Add any notes to the :guilabel:`Internal notes...` section of the form.
+
+After all of the information is added, click either :guilabel:`Save & Close` to add the one new
+contact, or :guilabel:`Save & New` to add the current address record and create another address
+record.
+
+As contacts are added to this tab, each contact appears in a separate box, with an icon indicating
+what type of contact is listed.
+
+.. example::
+   A :guilabel:`Delivery Address` displays a :guilabel:`⛟ (truck)` icon inside that specific address
+   box, whereas an :guilabel:`Invoice Address` displays a :guilabel:`💵 (dollar bill)` icon inside.
+

+      :alt: The create contact form with all parts filled in.
+
+Sales & Purchase tab
+********************
+
+Enter the following sales and purchasing information for the various sections below. Depending on
+the other installed applications, additional fields and sections may appear. The following are all
+default fields for the *Fleet* application only.
+
+#### Sales
+
+- :guilabel:`Salesperson`: using the drop-down menu, select a user as the main point of contact for
+  sales with this vendor.
+
+  This person **must** be an internal user of the company, meaning they can log into the database as
+  a user.
+
+#### Misc
+
+- :guilabel:`Company ID`: if the company has an ID number **other than** its *tax ID*, enter it in
+  this field.
+- :guilabel:`Reference`: enter any text to give more information regarding the contact. This is an
+  internal note to provide any additional information.
+

+     could state `Mary Jones at X108 - returns` to provide additional details.
+
+Internal Notes tab
+******************
+
+Add any notes that pertain to the vendor, or any other necessary information, in this tab.
+
+# List of services
+
+To view all services logged in the database, including old and new requests, navigate to
+:menuselection:`Fleet app --> Fleet --> Services`. All services appear in a list view, including all
+the details for each service.
+
+The service records are grouped by :ref:`service type <fleet/new-type>`. The number of repairs for
+each service type appears in parentheses after the name of the service type.
+
+Each service listed displays the following information:
+
+- :guilabel:`Date`: the date that the service, or repair, was performed (or 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 type of service, or repair, performed. This is selected from a list
+  of services that :ref:`must be configured <fleet/new-type>`.
+- :guilabel:`Vehicle`: the specific vehicle the service was performed on.
+- :guilabel:`Driver`: the current driver for the vehicle.
+- :guilabel:`Vendor`: the specific vendor who performed the service, or repair.
+- :guilabel:`Notes`: any information associated with the service, or repair, that is documented to
+  add clarification.
+- :guilabel:`Cost`: the total cost of the service, or repair.
+- :guilabel:`Stage`: the status of the service, or repair. Options are :guilabel:`New`,
+  :guilabel:`Running`, :guilabel:`Done`, or :guilabel:`Cancelled`.
+
+At the bottom of the :guilabel:`Cost` column, the total cost of all services and repairs are listed.
+
+.. image:: service/services.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: The full list of services in the Odoo database.
+
+## 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 can be clicked to present the information in
+         different ways.
+
+### List view
+
+The default view of the service records is a list view. This presents all the services, first
+grouped alphabetically by type of service, then grouped by status.
+
+The information can be re-sorted by any column. At the top of each column, hover over the column
+name, and an arrow appears in the far-right of that column. Click the arrow to sort the data by that
+specific column.
+
+The default sorting is in descending alphabetical order (A to Z), represented by a :guilabel:`⌄
+(down arrow)` icon. Click the :guilabel:`⌄ (down arrow)` icon to reverse the alphabetical order (Z
+to A). The :guilabel:`⌄ (down arrow)` icon changes to an :guilabel:`^ (up arrow)` icon.
+
+The two exceptions to this sorting are the default :guilabel:`Date` column and the :guilabel:`Cost`
+column. The :guilabel:`Date` column sorts the information in chronological order (January to
+December), instead of alphabetical order. The :guilabel:`Cost` column sorts the information by
+repair price, from lowest to highest.
+
+Add a service
+*************
+
+To add a service record from the list view, click the :guilabel:`New` button, and a service form
+loads. :ref:`Enter all the information <fleet/service-form>` on the service form.
+
+The form automatically saves as data is entered.
+
+### Kanban view
+
+To view services by their stage, click the :guilabel:`Kanban` button, which is the second icon in
+the top-right corner, and appears as two different length bars beneath a line.
+
+All services are organized by service type, and appear in the corresponding Kanban column.
+
+The number of repairs for each type of service appears in the far-right of each Kanban column
+header.
+
+The collective status of the scheduled activities for each service type appears in the color-coded
+bar beneath each Kanban column title. Repairs with activities scheduled in the future appear green,
+activities due today appear yellow, overdue activities appear red, and repairs with no activities
+scheduled appear gray.
+
+Each Kanban card displays a color-coded activity-related icon, such as a :guilabel:`🕘 (clock)` icon
+or :guilabel:`📞 (phone)` icon, for example. These icons indicate both the type of scheduled
+activity and the status. The status of the activity corresponds to the colors in the status bar.
+Click on an activity icon to view the details of that specific activity.
+
+The length of the color bar is proportionate to the number of corresponding activities with that
+specific status in that particular stage. Hover over a color section to reveal the number of service
+records in that specific grouping.
+
+.. image:: service/kanban.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: The service records presented in a Kanban view.
+
+To view **only** the records with a specific status, click the desired color bar section. The
+background color for the column changes to a pale hue of the same color (either green, yellow, red,
+or gray), and the color bar appears striped instead of solid. **Only** repairs and services with the
+selected status appear in the column.
+
+.. image:: service/kanban-status.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: The oil change service records showing only repairs with past-due activities.
+
+.. _fleet/schedule-activity:
+
+Schedule activities
+*******************
+
+To schedule an activity for a repair or service from the Kanban view, click the activity icon in the
+lower-right corner of the service record, and click :guilabel:`+ Schedule an activity`. A
+:guilabel:`Schedule Activity` pop-up window appears.
+
+> **note**:
+>    Depending on what kind of activity, if any, is scheduled, the activity icon may appear
+   differently. For example, a :guilabel:`📞 (phone)` appears if a phone call is scheduled, or an
+   :guilabel:`✉️ (envelope)` appears if an email is scheduled.
+
+Enter the following information on the form:
+
+- :guilabel:`Activity Type`: using the drop-down menu, select the activity being scheduled. The
+  default options are :guilabel:`Email`, :guilabel:`Call`, :guilabel:`Meeting`, :guilabel:`To-Do`,
+  and :guilabel:`Upload Document`.
+- :guilabel:`Summary`: enter a short description of the activity, such as `Schedule oil change`.
+- :guilabel:`Due Date`: using the calendar popover, select the date the activity must be completed.
+  Using the :guilabel:`< (left)` and :guilabel:`> (right)` arrow icons, navigate to the desired
+  month, then click on the date to select it.
+- :guilabel:`Assigned to`: using the drop-down menu, select the user responsible for the activity.
+- :guilabel:`Notes`: add any notes or details in the blank area in the bottom-half of the form.
+
+When the :guilabel:`Schedule Activity` is completed, click :guilabel:`Schedule` to schedule the
+activity, or click :guilabel:`Done & Schedule Next` to schedule the current activity and schedule
+another activity for the same repair.
+
+.. seealso::
+   For more detailed information regarding activities, refer to the main :doc:`activities
+   <../../essentials/activities>` document.
+
+Add a service
+*************
+
+A new repair can be added from this view. Click the :guilabel:`➕ (plus icon)` in the top-right
+corner of the Kanban column, and a new block appears at the top of the column, beneath the Kanban
+title.
+
+Enter a :guilabel:`Title` for the service or repair, then click :guilabel:`Add`. A
+:guilabel:`Create` service form appears in a pop-up window. :ref:`Enter all the information
+<fleet/service-form>` on the service form, then click :guilabel:`Save & Close` to add the record.
+The new record now appears in the Kanban column.
+
+### Graph view
+
+Another way to view the data is in a graph. To change to the graph view, click the :guilabel:`Graph`
+icon, which is the third icon in the top-right, and appears as a small graph.
+
+The default graph view displays the service information in a stacked bar chart, grouped by
+:guilabel:`Service Type`. The X-axis represents the :guilabel:`Service Type` and the Y-axis
+represents the :guilabel:`Cost`.
+
+Each column visually represents the total cost for all repairs and services for that specific
+:guilabel:`Service Type`. Hover over any bar to reveal a popover window that displays the total
+:guilabel:`Cost` for the service and repairs the bar represents.
+
+The graph can change to either a :guilabel:`Line Chart` or a :guilabel:`Pie Chart` by clicking the
+corresponding button above the graph. Additionally, the graph can display the data in either
+:guilabel:`Stacked`, :guilabel:`Descending`, or :guilabel:`Ascending` order, by clicking the
+corresponding buttons.
+
+.. image:: service/bar-chart.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: A bar chart view of the services and repairs, with the various option buttons highlighted.
+
+### Pivot view
+
+Another way to view the service data is in a spreadsheet pivot table. Click the :guilabel:`Pivot`
+icon, which is the fourth icon in the top-right, and appears as a small spreadsheet.
+
+The default way the data is presented shows the total cost of each type of service. The horizontal
+rows represent the various types of service, with a different service type in its own line. The
+vertical columns represent the total costs for each specific type of service, further divided by the
+type of service.
+
+.. image:: service/pivot.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: The default pivot table view of the services.
+
+The table can either be inserted in a spreadsheet or downloaded, if desired.
+
+To add the pivot table to a spreadsheet in Odoo, first, the appearance of the pivot table must
+change. The default pivot table view does not allow it to be inserted into a spreadsheet (the
+:guilabel:`Insert in Spreadsheet` button is grayed out).
+
+First, click the :guilabel:`➖ (minus)` icon to the left of :guilabel:`Total` at the top of the pivot
+table. This collapses the service types, leaving only a single :guilabel:`Cost` column visible.
+
+Then, click the :guilabel:`Insert in Spreadsheet` button, which is no longer grayed out, and a
+:guilabel:`Select a spreadsheet to insert your pivot` pop-up window appears. Two tabs are visible in
+this pop-up window, a :guilabel:`Spreadsheets` tab and a :guilabel:`Dashboards` tab.
+
+Click the desired tab to indicate where the spreadsheet should be placed, either in a
+:guilabel:`Spreadsheet` or on a :guilabel:`Dashboard`. After clicking the desired option, click
+:guilabel:`Confirm`. The spreadsheet then loads on the screen.
+
+> **note**:
+>    Spreadsheets are stored in Odoo's *Documents* application, while dashboards are stored in Odoo's
+   *Dashboards* application.
+
+Click :guilabel:`Services` in the top-left corner to navigate back to the previous pivot table view.
+
+To download the table in an *xlsx* format, click the download xlsx icon, represented by a
+:guilabel:`⬇️ (down arrow above a line)` icon.
+
+.. seealso::
+   For more detailed information regarding reporting, refer to the main :doc:`reporting
+   <../../essentials/reporting>` document.
+
+### Activity view
+
+To view the scheduled activities for services or repairs, click the :guilabel:`🕗 (clock)` activity
+icon in the top-right corner of the screen. This presents all activities, organized by vehicle and
+activity type.
+
+The vertical columns are organized by activity type, and the horizontal lines are organized by
+vehicle.
+
+The entries are color-coded according to the status of each activity. Green activities are scheduled
+in the future, yellow activities are due today, and red activities are overdue.
+
+The user responsible for the activity appears in a photo in the lower-left corner of each activity
+entry.
+
+The due date of each activity is written in the top-center of each activity entry.
+
+A color-coded bar at the top of each activity column indicates the status of the activities within
+that column.
+
+The number of activities for each activity type is written on the right side of the color-coded bar
+beneath the column name.
+
+.. image:: service/activity-view.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: The activity view, with the columns called out, and an activity box highlighted.
+
+Schedule an activity
+********************
+
+To add a service record from the activity view, click :guilabel:`+ Schedule an activity` in the
+bottom-left corner of the list, and a :guilabel:`Search: Services` pop-up window loads. Click the
+service that the activity is being scheduled for, and a :guilabel:`Schedule Activity` form loads.
+
+:ref:`Enter all the information <fleet/schedule-activity>` on the activity form.
+
+When the form is complete, click the :guilabel:`Schedule` button. Then, both pop-up windows close,
+and the activity now appears on the activity view.

+# Fleet
+
+This document outlines the configurations and settings for the *Fleet* application, for both
+:ref:`settings <fleet/settings>` and :ref:`manufacturers <fleet/manufacturers>`.
+
+.. _fleet/settings:
+
+# Settings
+
+To access the settings menu, go to :menuselection:`Fleet app --> Configuration --> Settings`. Only
+two settings need configuration: :guilabel:`End Date Contract Alert` and :guilabel:`New Vehicle
+Request`.
+
+.. image:: fleet/fleet-settings.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: Settings available for the Fleet application.
+
+## End Date Contract Alert
+
+The :guilabel:`End Date Contract Alert` field how many days before the end of a vehicle contract an
+alert should be sent. The responsible people receive an email informing them a vehicle contract is
+about to expire in the number of days defined in this field.
+
+> **note**:
+>    To determine who the responsible person is for a contract, open an individual contract. The
+   person listed as :guilabel:`Responsible` under the :guilabel:`Contract Information` section of
+   the contract is the person who will receive the alert.
+
+   To access all contracts, navigate to :menuselection:`Fleet app --> Fleet --> Contracts` and all
+   contracts appear in the list. Click on a :guilabel:`Contract` to view it.
+
+   An individual contract can also be found by navigating to :menuselection:`Fleet app --> Fleet -->
+   Fleet` and clicking on an individual vehicle. On the vehicle form, click the
+   :guilabel:`Contracts` smart button at the top of the page. The contract(s) associated with this
+   vehicle only appears in the list. Click on an individual contract to open it. The
+   :guilabel:`Responsible` person is listed on the contract.
+
+## New Vehicle Request
+
+The :guilabel:`New Vehicle Request` field sets a limit on how many new vehicles are requested based
+on fleet availability. An employee filling out the salary configurator form (after being offered a
+position), will *not* be able to request a new car if the number of existing cars is greater than
+the number specified in the :guilabel:`New Vehicle Request` field. Enter the specific number limit
+for existing available cars in this field.
+
+.. example::
+   If the :guilabel:`New Vehicle Request` limit is set to 20 vehicles, and there are 25 vehicles
+   available, an employee would not be able to request a new vehicle. If there are only 10 cars
+   available, then the employee would be able to request a new vehicle.
+
+.. _fleet/manufacturers:
+
+# Manufacturers
+
+Odoo *Fleet* comes pre-configured with sixty-six commonly used car and bicycle manufacturers in the
+database, along with their logos. To view the pre-loaded manufacturers, go to :menuselection:`Fleet
+app --> Configuration --> Manufacturers`.
+
+The manufacturers appear in an alphabetical list. Each manufacturer's card lists how many specific
+models are configured for each particular manufacturer. Odoo comes with forty-six preconfigured
+:doc:`models <fleet/models>` from four major auto manufacturers, and one major bicycle manufacturer:
