Create a new service type

Service types are typically pre-configured, but it is possible to create new service types for your system using the Create Service Type Wizard dialog box. For more information about the wizard, refer to the procedure below. Once you create a new service type, you can assign it to any system.

Note: Creating new service types is a project engineering task and customers will most likely not need to access this wizard themselves.

The service type definition identifies those characteristics that are common to all instances of your service. Only one service type declaration is required within a given project.
