Service Groups, Settings and Checklists
Overview
Service Groups (or templates) are used to define an assets service intervals, services tolerances and jobcard checklist items. Gearbox will allow as many
different service groups as you need. These may vary between "prime movers" or
"plant" or between make such as "Volvo" or "Caterpillar".
Gearbox users must have a minimum of Standard permissions in the Settings area in order to apply changes
NOTE: Gearbox uses a cascading service due feature. Use A as the smallest
service and E as the largest service. This means that all items in an A
service are contained in a B,C,D & E service. Do not use the E
service for services such as “Mixer”, “Inspection” or “Transmission”. In
this scenario when you record an E Service, Gearbox will reset the
meter for an A,B,C & D service as it will consider that all items
included in that service were also carried out. For more information
contact customer support. Use the “Inspections” section in the
Compliance menu and created a sub-vehicle/asset to manage transmissions
or mixer services that do not align with the primary assets servicing
schedule.
