Before you begin

You need the Brisk permission for the action you are taking on service snippets. If a Create, Edit, or Delete control is absent, do not work around it with another user’s account; ask an administrator to review your role.

Create a Service Snippet

Create a Service Snippet after searching for the person, organization, item, location, or resource under alternate names and identifiers. Merge or correct an existing master record instead of creating a duplicate.

1. Select the business context first.

2. Enter the required identifying and operational values: Text.

3. Review the identifying information shown on the screen against the source document or approved setup decision.

4. Save the Service Snippet, then confirm Text on its detail page before continuing.

After saving: Verify this Service Snippet in the next transaction or assignment screen before staff build new activity on it; correct ownership, classification, and active state now rather than after transactions accumulate.

Delete a Service Snippet

Delete this Service Snippet only if it is an unused duplicate or setup mistake. Once other records refer to it, preserve that history and make the value inactive when the screen provides that option.

On the confirmation page, verify Text. After confirmation, return to the Service Snippets list and make sure only the intended Service Snippet was removed.

Review Service Snippet details

Use the detail page as the shared record of what this Service Snippet currently means. Verify Text before relying on it for a decision.

Compare the Service Snippet with its source document or approved setup request before deciding that it needs correction.

Next check: Verify this Service Snippet in the next transaction or assignment screen before staff build new activity on it; correct ownership, classification, and active state now rather than after transactions accumulate.

Edit an existing Service Snippet

Edit this Service Snippet to keep the same real-world party, item, location, or resource accurate. Do not repurpose it for a different entity after activity is attached.

1. Open the detail page. Compare the identifying information shown on the screen with the supporting document or approved request.

2. Recheck the identifying information shown on the screen. These values are most likely to change intake, estimating, dispatch, parts, labor, completion, and billing.

3. Save the change, return to the list, and confirm that the Service Snippet now appears under the expected the identifying information shown on the screen.

After the change: Verify this Service Snippet in the next transaction or assignment screen before staff build new activity on it; correct ownership, classification, and active state now rather than after transactions accumulate.

Find and review service snippets

Use the Service Snippets list to find the correct record before opening or changing it. Compare Text. Compare the full identifier rather than relying on a similar name.

Open the Service Snippet whose Text match the task. If it is missing, clear the list filters and recheck the identifying information shown on the screen rather than creating a replacement immediately.
