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

  1. Open the Service Type Configuration Editor if it is not already open.
  2. Select the General tab.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. In the Display Name box, enter the name you want to display for this service type.
  6. In the Description box, enter information about the service type you are configuring. This information is optional.
  7. Click Apply to apply your changes without closing the dialog box.
  8. Click OK to confirm your changes and close the dialog box.
