Managing Service Types

Service Types categorize what each team member can do: Photography, Videography, Drone, Virtual Staging, and so on. (Previously called "Skills".) They're what Photeria uses to figure out who's qualified to shoot a job.

Service Types categorize what each team member can do: Photography, Videography, Drone, Virtual Staging, and so on. (Previously called "Skills".) They're what Photeria uses to figure out who's qualified to shoot a job.

The link runs in two directions: you tag each service with a Service Type, and you assign Service Types to each team member. When a job needs a service, only members with the matching type are offered.

Creating one

Go to Team β†’ Service Types, click Add Service Type, name it (for example "Drone" or "Virtual Staging"), and create it. It's available to assign immediately.

To delete a type, click the trash icon and confirm. It's removed from every member and service that used it. System types can't be deleted.

Assigning Service Types

  • To a team member - on Team β†’ Members, edit the member and toggle their Service Types.
  • To a service - on Ordering β†’ Services, open a service and pick its Service Type from the dropdown.

A member can hold many types, and a type can sit on many members.

Why it matters

Service Types keep the right people matched to the right jobs, both when you assign photographers yourself and when a client picks a slot on the order form. A member missing the required type won't be offered for that work.

Permissions

  • Team: Manage - create, rename, delete, and assign Service Types to members.
