4.3 Creating services

You can create services based on service templates that have been added to JP1/AO. By creating services, you can execute the automated processing defined in service templates.

When creating services, you can assign tags to use as a search key when searching for services in the JP1/AO system. By assigning a particular tag to services that are associated with a specific business process or are the responsibility of a certain operator, you can use the tag search feature to display only those services in the JP1/AO interface.

Tip: You can create multiple services from the same service template.

Who can perform this task:

Users in the Admin role, Develop role, or Modify role

To create a service:

Display the Services window.
In the Services area, click the Create button.
From the list of service templates in the Select Service Template dialog box, select the service template from which you want to create a service. Then, click the Create New Service button.
