Create the Service Option Group

Each reservation service in the catalog consists of one or more reservation-related service option groups. These service option groups are bundled groups of service option elements that specify the details that users can select for their reservations. You can add a new service option group for each type of reservation that you want to support: Examples include creating, extending, modifying, and returning reservations of physical computers and virtual machines. In this scenario, the first service option group is for creating a reservation of a computer.
