Select the Services tab at the top of the Administration screen (next to the Departments tab).
Create a New Service:
Click the + New Service button in the top-right corner of the screen.
Fill in the Service Details:
A pop-up form titled New Service will appear. Fill out the required fields:

Editing Service Information
Use the three-dot menu next to a service to select Edit or Delete.
Edit: Modify the service’s details, including its name, price, or department assignment.
Delete: Remove the service from LinkHMS (note: this action cannot be undone).
💡Note:
Price and Duration: Make sure to set appropriate pricing and duration for each service based on your clinic's offerings.
Assign Departments: Services need to be tied to at least one department, so make sure your departments are set up before creating services.
Service Status: Services can be set as Active or Inactive. Only Active services will be visible for use in the system.
With these steps, you can easily create and manage services in LinkHMS, ensuring that your clinic’s offerings are well-organized and ready to use.
