Service Areas

Service Areas can be considered sub-systems within a single treatment “system” made up of e.g. linac, treatment couch, lasers, TPS etc. You will be required to select a Service Area when initiating a new Service Event.

To create Service Areas go to the Admin section and click the Service Areas link in the Service Log section and then click the Add Service Area button. Fill in the Name field and then click Save.

Repeat to create as many Service Area’s as you think you will need (you can always create more at a later date!).

Associating Service Areas with Units

Once you have some Service Area’s defined, you need to associate Units with their related Service Areas. There are two possible ways to accomplish this.

  1. You can visit the Admin page for a given Unit and select the related Service Areas:

    Adding Service Areas via the Unit admin

    Adding Service Areas via the Unit admin

  2. You can use the Unit Service Area Memberships area of the admin (in the Service Log admin section) to create associations between Units and Service Areas. This method allows you to add notes about the Service Area association:
