This is a reference to bulk importing One-Time Services into ServiceTrade.
Before you get started on completing your One-Time Services Template import template, you should:
- Review the information on Recurring Services. Most services that you would import would be Recurring Services, and we cover importing them in this article.
Note: One-time services are not Jobs. To import One-time Services is to essentially ask ServiceTrade to present these Services to you in the future, when you may create the Job, via the Service Opportunities Report. - Review the general information on bulk importing.
Note: It is important to test your bulk Imports. All of our customers should have a Demo ServiceTrade Account. Use your Demo Account to test the import first, to avoid duplication or creating errors in your Production Account. It is not possible to delete in bulk in ServiceTrade.
If you do not know what your Demo Account credentials are, please reach out to Customer Support.
