Configure general information for service types
Configure general information you want to associate with a
particular service type using the
General tab of the
Properties dialog box. Settings you make here apply to every
service of this type.
A service type is used as a template for individual instances of
an associated service. You can override the Icon property of
a service type for a specific instance of a service usng the
Configure Services editor.
To configure general information for service types
- Open the Service Type Configuration Editor if it is not already
open.
- Select a
node, service, or tool in the console tree.
- Click
on the
Configuration toolbar to open the Service Type Configuration
Editor and display the Configure Service Types dialog box or
right-click to open the shortcut menu and select Configure
Service Types.
- Select the General tab.
- In the Icon box, enter the name of the icon that you
want to represent this service type. Click Browse to open
the Choose Icon dialog box, a standard Windows file
selection dialog box that lists icon (.ico) files.
- Select the icon you want to use and click Open. The icon
you select here appears on the General tab. If you change to
another directory to select an icon, you will see a message asking
you to copy the icon to the proper directory. If you want the same
icon to appear in another machine's installation of the console, it
must be selected in the same manner on that machine. If the icon is
not already present, it must be manually copied to that machine
before you can select it. You can also create your own custom icon if
desired.
- In the Display Name box, enter the name you want to
display for this service type.
- In the Description box, enter information about the
service type you are configuring. This information is
optional.
