Resumen del artículo

The New Service Log screen allows you to create or edit service log entries representing services performed on the equipment. This screen can be displayed from the Equipment screen by clicking on an entry on the Due Services screen, the All Services screen, or the Equipment Services Due Search List screen. You can view existing Service Log records by selecting the Service Log section of the Equipments module.  

When you enter this screen by selecting an existing service log entry for an equipment item, you will be allowed to edit the entry only if it is the most recent entry for the equipment service. If you click on a service entry for a service with more recent log entries, the screen will be read-only.

The screen title includes the name of the service performed (i.e. Rotate Tires) and the name of the asset for which the service is being recorded (i.e. ‘John Deere Z525E 22 HP 54” Mower (Francine)’).

Each of the screen elements on the Equipment Service Log screen is described in the following table:

If you check this checkbox, then when you save the log entry, the Equipment New Reading Log section will be displayed at the bottom of the modal, allowing you to enter the Reading Date, Meter Reading, and, if applicable, a Trouble Code to create a new meter log entry for the equipment. 

You can automatically switch on the Add New Reading toggle once the Service Log modal appears by selecting the Add New Reading checkbox on the Application subsection of the Configuration section of the Administration menu. 

Request Source 

Read-Only. You can see the origins of a service request by observing the information in the new Request Source field on the Service Log modal. The request source can be accessed on the Equipment details screen or the Service Log modal accessed from the Services Due or Service Logs sections of the Equipment module after selecting the desired equipment item.  By default, the Request Source field will be displayed on the advanced search list of the Services Due, Service Log screen.  You must have the View Equipment Permission  permission to view the Equipment details screen. 

You will see one of the following read-only inputs in the Request Source field:

  •  Manual Request - A crew member initiated the service request via the Request Equipment Service option within Crew Mobile, or the service request was created by selecting a Request Service service type on the All Service or Due Services modal.

Equipment Services Due Search List Screen 

The Equipment Services Due Search List screen lets you easily see when maintenance is due on identified equipment. Each item in this list represents a service that can be performed on the equipment. Service items that are due are highlighted in red.  They represent one of the following:

  1. Maintenance services of type Maintenance that are due based on the service schedule associated with the equipment model.
  2. Maintenance services of type Request Service have been requested by crew leaders using the Crew Mobile App. (See Aspire knowledge base article, Setting Up Crew Mobile on Mobile Devices )


This search list behaves like other Aspire search lists allowing you to display and filter information to provide the most value in various situations. Clicking on an item in the list displays the Equipment Service Log screen, allowing you to create a new service log entry. Once the service log entry has been created, the item will be removed from the Equipment Services Due search list.

When you drill into a due service whose service type is “Request Service,” Aspire will provide an option at the bottom of the displayed screen, allowing them to delete the service request without logging it. This allows office personnel to override inadvertent or unjustified service requests submitted by crew leaders.
