Overview
When you create a service, you provide a name and description and add policies.
You have the option to include or exclude specific sites, groups, and devices in the service. Although this practice is not recommended, it may be necessary for fringe cases. The specific inclusions or exclusions that you configure for a service override your service delivery model. For example, if you include a service in a service plan, and that service plan is not applied to a site, but you have included that site at the service level, then the service is applied to the site.

A list of policies appears, filtered by the type of policy you selected in the previous step. - Select the check box beside each policy you want to add to the service.
