Create new service instance
Use the "Create new service instance" panel to create a new instance
of a service. Service for which you can create instances have a service
template in the list of services when the services are displayed in the list
view of the workplace. The service template looks like a folder symbol
and has the existing service instances nested below it. See also Managing service instances.
