Create a yearly service record for a vehicle

Most automobile manufacturers recommend you perform service for a vehicle at certain intervals, usually either at a certain mileage or after a year has passed (whichever event occurs first).  

You can use scheduled maintenance to generate a work order for this service using either of these conditions as triggers. 

To do this:

1. In Maintenance > Scheduled Maintenance, click Create.
2. Select the asset (the vehicle), the maintenance type (preventive), and enter any other information as needed:
   
3. Navigate to the Scheduling tab.
4. As either a specified mileage or time passed can be the trigger, select any of the triggers fire under Generate Work Order When:
   
5. Create the yearly time-based trigger:
   1. Click the Add ()button in the bottom left of the triggers list:
      
   2. Make sure Generate Work Order By Time Schedule is selected. 
   3. Select Yearly, and enter "1" in the years field. For this example, we assume the vehicle is brand new, so the date entered is the date the vehicle was acquired.
   4. Make sure Fixed is selected, and optionally deselect Create Work Order On Start Date if you don't want a work order to be created right away.
      Your trigger may look like this:
      
   5. Click OK.
6. Create the meter reading trigger for mileage:
   1. Click the Create button in the bottom left of the triggers list.
   2. Click Generate Work Order By Meter Reading. 
   3. Specify the mileage and unit, and make sure No End Reading and Fixed Schedule are selected. 
      In the example below, the service will be performed every 15000 miles:
      
   4. Click OK.
7. Click Save in the top menu bar.
8. Toggle on the scheduled maintenance record so that it says Running:
   
   Your scheduled maintenance is now active, and will generate a work order when service is required for your vehicle.
