# Service requests

Service requests are tracked and entered here. A service request will ultimately be turned into a work order by your service company so they can schedule and track the details of service required.

Customer service requests display as a table that lists all service requests you have made so far sorted in descending order by the date the service request was created.

### Head office vs Customer

If you are a single "Customer" User you will see data in AyaNova for your own Customer account.

If you are a "Head office" User then you will see data for all Customers tied to your Head office in AyaNova.

## Service requests data table

You can sort by different columns, and/or filter to show only service requests that meet a certain criteria, refer to the data table guide for details on how to filter and sort this Service Request table.

The columns displayed here are showing data entered into the service request edit form.

## Service request edit form

The service request edit form is where you can view or enter details about a service request and has the following fields and areas:

#### Message to customer

Your service company may optionally have entered a message that will display at the top of this entry form.

#### Priority

Here you select the priority for this service request.

Options are:

- Not urgent
- ASAP - as soon as possible
- Emergency - immediate service requested

This selection will be seen by the service manager to help them prioritize resources to provide the best possible service to everyone.

#### Reference number

This optional field is used to record any reference number that you require to help track this service request. Anything entered here will be tracked through to the work order that is used to record the service performed.

#### Unit

In AyaNova a Unit is a piece of equipment or other type of item that is being serviced and is identified and tracked in the system by a serial number.

If service is being requested for a particular Unit, here you can select that Unit by serial number if it is already in the system or enter a new Unit if your service company has enabled this feature.

This list shows the first 20 Units it finds for your customer record by default but in cases where there are more you can type part of the serial number into the Unit selection box to search for that Unit.

Selecting a Unit will ensure it is tracked in AyaNova for service history.

##### Add unit

Your service company can optionally allow Customers to enter new Units that are not available for selection directly into the service request. If this feature is enabled you will see an Add new unit button beside the Unit selection control:

(If the add Unit feature is turned off but your service is related to a specific unit of equipment it might be helpful to enter the serial number, model number and manufacturer name in the Details area instead.)

Clicking on Add new Unit will open the add unit entry area:

Here you can enter details about your Unit. The serial number is the most important field and is required. If available select your unit model and enter a description for anything else that might help identify the Unit.

Click on Add to save the new Unit into the database. If no prior unit was selected, this new unit will be automatically selected in the Unit list, otherwise you will need to clear the selected Unit first before typing in the first few characters of the serial number just entered to select it.
