Services are the building blocks of proposals in Practice Ignition. Think of it as Lego pieces to build an awesome ship! Having pre-defined yet customizable services are what makes it quick and easy to build proposals.
That is awesome! Follow the next steps and copy and paste the contents into PI's service library.
We have resources to help practices understand what they need to do to move to fixed fees and define their pricing. Here's a guide on Fixed Fees, guide on Pricing your Practice, and best practice on writing service descriptions.
Head to Library on the left-hand menu to navigate to the Services page. When you first sign up for Practice Ignition, there is a sample service template set up for you already. You can edit or duplicate this service to create a similar one, or alternatively you can create your own from scratch.
You will be taken to the Service Set Up tab.
Give your service a name. This is client-facing and can't be changed at the proposal level.
Next, add a Service Description. This is where you will outline the deliverables of the service for the client. You can customize the description for each client when creating a proposal.
Deliverables: What you will do for your client?
Software: What software will your client be interacting with to complete this service?
Limitations: What is considered out of scope of this service?
Timeline: When would you expect to complete this service? If it's a recurring service, what frequency will the deliverables be completed?

Next, select a Billing Type and define a price for your service.
You are now setting a default price for the service. This can always be customized when creating a proposal.
For value added services, choose Included Service.
