Mileage & Time Intervals
A maintenance interval can be tracked by mileage, by time, or by both at once. When both are set, the service is due whenever the first threshold is reached — whichever comes first.
Creating an Interval
When you create an interval, fill in the frequency for the dimension(s) you want to track:
- Frequency (km) — track by distance, e.g. every 10,000 km
- Frequency (days) — track by time, e.g. every 365 days
- Both — fill in both fields to track mileage and time together
There’s no interval type to choose. The type follows whichever frequencies you fill in:
- Mileage only → tracked by distance
- Time only → tracked by time
- Both → whichever comes first
You can also set an advance notice for each dimension (e.g. 500 km or 30 days) to be warned before the service is actually due.
Whichever Comes First
With both a mileage and a time frequency set, the interval becomes due as soon as either threshold is reached. In the overview, the progress and status reflect the dimension that’s driving it — for example, an oil change set to 10,000 km or 12 months will show as overdue on the date even if there are still kilometres to go.
Updating an Existing Interval
You don’t need to recreate an interval to change how it’s tracked:
- Open the interval from the Intervals tab.
- Add or change a frequency — for example, enter a days frequency on an interval that was previously mileage-only.
- Save.
The type updates automatically based on the fields that are filled in. So a mileage-only interval becomes mileage + time the moment you add a time frequency.
To stop tracking a dimension, clear its frequency field and save. At least one frequency (km or days) must always be set.
