• Shortcuts included from the Prestashop backoffice menu to the configuration sections of the module for consulting the lists of related services, status changes, record and tracking of actions or tasks in progress.
• In the configuration section of the module called "Services", a timer is assigned to the shop's products intended to be offered as services, with a limited number of minutes by which the customer will receive the service they have requested.
• The module uses minutes as the minimum unit of time.Thus, for example, a service that a client hires for two (2) hours, will have to be assigned a timer of 120 minutes.
• When a client places an order for any of the products previously configured in the module, such as services with a timer, once the status of said order is considered valid, a new Voucher or Session will be automatically created in the name of this client in the status “On hold”, this way this voucher is ready to be changed to the “In execution” state and new activities related to the time consumption in minutes of the service provided to begin to be recorded. Note: In general, orders are considered valid when their status becomes "Payment accepted", but this depends on the order status configuration of each shop.
• For each Session or Service Voucher contracted by a client, a total of available time and the status of the Service Voucher will be displayed. If the time limit for the voucher is reached or exceeded, it will automatically go to the status “Finished ", However, time may continue to be consumed and the surplus in minutes will be shown in negative and in red to warn that the available limit has been reached and exceeded.
• In the Activities section of the module, the detail of the records of tasks and actions related to a Voucher or Session of the order of a specific client is shown, together with the time in minutes that has been consumed by each of these activities.
• The lists of Services, Bonds and Activities may be filtered according to different criteria, mainly according to the order and content of each column of the table containing said lists.
• Customers will be able to see at any time and monitor the status of their requests or orders for services from their private area, by logging in with their username and password from the new section introduced by this module called "Status of Contracted Services".In this section, customers will be able to see each request, the tasks performed, the time consumed by each one and the total time accumulated by all the activities in positive and in green color if there is time available or in red and negative if the time limit has been exceeded. time limit and the service has ended.In addition, in this section the client will also have filters to search for requests between two dates or that belong to a specific order or the service is in a particular state.
• In the case of products with combinations, the time limit variable in available minutes for each service will always be the same for all combinations, therefore the available time contracted cannot be varied according to each combination.
• Compatibility with the Prestashop Multi-shop functionality.

• The module is multi-language and is prepared to show its clients the “Status of Contracted Services” section in the language that corresponds to the client, as long as there are translations for that language.With this module translations for some languages are included and more translations can be included from the Prestashop backoffice section "International"> "Translations of Installed modules" and select the "Service Timer" module.The name assigned to the services offered will also be shown to the client in their language, as long as the translation exists in the configuration of said services.As a recommendation, the description of the tasks and actions carried out for each service should be written in the client's predefined language, since there is no automatic translation method for them to be shown in their language.

• The module allows you to apply a timer for each service and does not distinguish between the different variations or combinations that may have been created, so it is recommended to create services that do not have combinations or whose combinations do not vary the time in minutes that is offered with the service.
