A Service Schedule in Chime is a planned maintenance schedule that automatically tracks when equipment needs servicing. These schedules can be set to trigger based on:
Mileage
Running hours
Time duration
This helps you keep equipment in good working condition and prevent costly breakdowns. Once created, a service schedule can be applied to equipment types or individual items, ensuring that every piece of equipment is automatically monitored and flagged when a service is due.
Add new Service Schedule
Go to the Equipment tile on the left-hand side of the Chime dashboard.
Click the ‘Servicing Schedules’ tab at the top.
Press the + New button
Name your service schedule — for example “Quarterly Service.”
Press Save.
Add Rule
On the right-hand side of your new service schedule, click Add New Rule
From the drop-down list, select the rule type:
Mileage
Running Hours
Time-Based
For example, select Time-Based and set it for every 3 months (quarterly) NB: You can add more than one rule.
Once configured, press Save.
Your service schedule is now active and ready to apply
💡 Tips
Use clear, descriptive names (e.g. “6-Month Inspection” or “500-Hour Service”) so schedules are easy to identify.
Add multiple rules where needed (e.g. time-based and mileage) to ensure nothing is missed.
Regularly review active schedules to confirm they still reflect manufacturer guidelines and operational needs.
