# Service Types

## Introduction

Service Types can be added to assets for your planned maintenance works. A list of tasks with timescales can also be added to help you efficiently plan works.

This guide will show you how to set these Service Types up and how to link them to your Assets.

### SFG20

SFG20 is the industry standard for building maintenance specification.

The SFG20 software helps you to build and customise maintenance schedules to suit your estate’s business needs and stay on top of changing legislation with ease.

## Importing Service Types

If you have a login with SFG20, you can download a .xml file and import it straight into joblogic!

To do this, click through to Settings > Library > Service Types > Import

The Task and Description fields are mandatory so will need to be filled in if you wish to continue.

You can then select an Asset Class, if required.

Finally, click Add Service Task to start adding your task list. Here, you can add the Description, Duration of the task, Frequency of the task and whether it is to be a mandatory task or not.

The duration can be in Days, Weeks, Months, or Years.

Once you are happy, click Save.

The Service Types are now ready to be used against your assets and equipment on Planned Maintenace jobs.
