Description

Determines which jobs are part of a service based on the selected filters. For a detailed description of these filters, see Parameters.

Service per ODAT based on filter

Creates a separate service instance for all jobs that matches the selected filters and have different ODAT values.

Service per SMART Folder

Creates a separate service instance for every instance of a SMART Folder, defined in the Filter tab, which enters Active Jobs.

To group jobs to a SMART Folder, see Creating a job and Creating a regular folder.

Ensure that each orderable service is a unique entity, and not dependent on conditions from another service.

Service per job

Creates a separate service instance for every instance of a job, defined in the Filter tab, that enters Active Jobs.

Orderable

Enables users from the Self Service web/mobile clients to order this service to the active environment.

This feature is enabled only if you select Service per SMART Folder or Service per job. For these service types, a specific SMART folder or job is ordered when the service is ordered.

If you select this option, the Orderable Parameters tab appears.
