Requires System-level Services - View permissions to view the information, Add/Edit permissions to edit/save changes, and Delete permissions to delete a Service. Also requires Realm Nodes - View permissions to list the Realm Nodes.
A Service is an allocation of analytic resources to a data processing activity. The Digital Reef Default Service supports processing in the Realm for configured Organizations and Projects. As a System User with Services - Add/Edit permissions, you can define your own Services if you want to scale your Realm Node resources to offer different levels of processing performance for data processing activities. To offer a higher Service level for an activity, you allocate a greater number of analytic resources based on your available Realm Nodes (Analytic Nodes) and their Node type (for example, Standard, Express, or OCR).
By default, Users in any System-level role can view the Services Summary information, and a System Administrator and System Manager have permissions to add and edit a Service, but only a System Administrator has permission to delete a Service. For information about System-level permissions, see View and Manage System Role-Based Permissions.
On the Services page, System Users with the appropriate permissions can do the following:
- View information for the configured Services (with View permissions).
- Add a Service (with Add/Edit permissions).
- Edit the Service (with Add/Edit permissions).
- Delete a Service (with Delete permissions, by default, for the System Administrator role only).
The list in Services section includes the name and description of each Service. The Digital Reef Default Service is named Digital Reef Entire Realm, and by default has the description Digital Reef Auto Generated Service. Click the 
New Service button at the top of the section to create a Service; for information about doing this, see Add or Edit a Service.
For a selected Service entry, you can right-click the entry or click the context menu icon (
) at the far right to select the Edit option to view or modify a Service's description, or the Delete option to request permanent deletion of a manually created Service. The Delete option is unavailable for the Digital Reef Default Service and for any Service that is in use by at least one Project. (If necessary, you can change the Service for a Project , for example to the default Service, using the Change Servicebutton on the Projects page).
When you select a Service from the Summary, the top right side of the screen displays the available Realm Nodes and lets you specify which of them can be used by the Service by selecting or clearing their checkboxes. By default, a Service includes all Realm Nodes in a Multinode configuration (that is, the Analytic Nodes), or the Full Node (Service Node) that has a Standard Node type and has all system components. In a Multinode configuration, you can remove nodes from a Service (for example, to add them to another Service), but all Services must include at least one Realm Node, and all Realm Nodes should be included in a Service. .
The list includes the names and types of the Realm Nodes in the Service, each of which has a checkbox that can be cleared to remove the node. (In a Full Node configuration, there is only one node in the Service, and its checkbox is locked so you cannot select it for removal.) When you have changed the one or more checkboxes to change the node configuration, click Save. (The Save button is unavailable if no nodes are selected.) You can also click Discard Changes to keep the existing configuration.
Organizations & Projects for a Service
When you select a Service from the list in the upper left, the bottom right displays a list of Organizations and the Projects in them that use the service.The list is sorted alphabetically by Organization, and then by Project.
