The Create Service window enables you to select the parameters of your service and preview the result before saving. Admin, Develop, and Modify users can create services.

The Create Service window includes the following areas:

Overview pane

The Overview pane includes a written description of the template and a graphical representation of the hardware and data structure.

Navigation pane

The Navigation pane has settings groups that include General Settings and any other settings that are required or optional for the service. You can click a settings group to display and edit the settings in the Settings pane. You can also navigate through the settings groups using the links at the bottom of the Settings pane.

The settings groups vary according to the template or service upon which the service is based. If settings are required, a graphic warning will display in the settings group.

Settings pane

Use the Settings pane to edit or create the parameters for your service.

Note: If you are copying an existing service, the default values for the parameters will be different than if you are creating a service.
