Create Instance

Click this tile to create service instances.

Note: This tile is displayed only if the logged-in account or domain contains metered services or entitlements.

The Create Instance dialog box displays 2 tabs, namely, QuickStart Services and All Services. The QuickStart Services tab displays most popular or most used services such as Compute, Storage, Java, Database, Application Developer, Business Integration, Integration, or Mobile for which you can create instances.

Note: This tab is active only if your logged-in domain contains these services and if you are the administrator for these services. If not, this tab is disabled.

The All Services tab displays all the other services. Click Create to create an instance for the selected service. You can also search for a service in the Create Instance dialog box.

Customize Dashboard

Click to customize your dashboard display. From the Customize Dashboard dialog box, you can control the tiles to be displayed on the dashboard by selecting one of the following:

• Show: Select this button to display the service tile on the dashboard. Purged and terminated services will not be displayed in the list. Services which are not yet active or still in progress won’t be displayed on the dashboard. Only a maximum of 16 services can be displayed on the dashboard.

• Hide: Click this button to hide the tile from the dashboard. Or, hover over the tile and click X.

• Automatic: This button is displayed only if enabled for the selected service type. If you do not select Show or Hide specifically, the system automatically displays or hides a tile based on the service instance count. Service tiles are displayed if instance count is greater than zero and if there are less than 16 tiles on the dashboard.

Services within the Customize Dashboard dialog box are grouped into Platform Services, Applications, and Metered Services Categories and Service Entitlements. A service entitlement is displayed in 2 rows, the first row indicates the name of the entitlement; the second row displays the number of instances and a link to the entitlement detail page.
