Service Option Groups

Service option groups are bundled groups of individual service elements. Service option groups are made up of service option elements that define the characteristics of the catalog items in the service option group. Navigate to the Service Builder, Service Option Groups window to view a list of all available service option groups for use in a service. Each business unit can have its own set of service option groups.

Service option groups consist of service option elements that define the characteristics of the catalog items in the service option group. To edit the service option group definition (the service option elements in the service option group), click on the service option group name link to display the Service Option Group Definition window.

Note: To display the service option groups for an additional business unit, click Change Business Unit.
