Overview

This article explains how to use editing a service in Work Planner, including the main fields that shape how the services record behaves once it is saved.

When to use this

Use this article when an existing record needs to be updated and you want to understand which settings are safe to change and which ones affect downstream work.

How it fits into the flow

Editing a service sits within Settings / Services. It is designed to work alongside related articles such as Creating a service, Service details, Services list, so users can move through the workflow without relying on one giant reference page.

Main actions

  • Work through the form from top to bottom and check the values that affect downstream scheduling, pricing, or communication.
  • Review any required fields before saving so the record is created or updated cleanly.
  • Use the surrounding actions to return to the list or continue the workflow once the form is saved.

Important fields

  • Name: Look for input such as “Service name”.
  • Color: Complete this value carefully before you save.
  • Show on website: Enable this service on the public website request-a-quote page.
  • Public service description: Look for input such as “Describe this service for visitors on your website”.
  • Validation: Name: Required. Text value. Maximum 255 characters.
  • Validation: Color: Required. Text value. Follow the required format.
  • Validation: Show On Website: Yes or no value.
  • Validation: Public Description: Optional. Text value. Maximum 2000 characters.
