# Creating and Editing Services in LinkHMS

In LinkHMS, the [Administration](https://app.linkhms.com/administration/services) module allows you to manage both [Departments](https://app.linkhms.com/administration/departments) and [Services](https://app.linkhms.com/administration/services). Services are the offerings provided by each department, such as consultations, diagnostics, and treatments. This guide will help you navigate through the process of creating a new service.

## Steps to Create a New Service

#### Access the Administration Module:

Once logged into LinkHMS, click on the [Administration](https://app.linkhms.com/administration/services) icon on the left-hand sidebar (it looks like a desktop monitor).

#### 💡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.
