Saved Orders

  • If there are no configuration issues, you will then be taken to the Saved Orders page.

    Resources

  • In the Saved Orders page, you are able to lock, delete, or change the settings of your order.

    • Adding a lock to an order disables the ability for others to add/modify. You can unlock your order if you need to add/modify. If your permissions allow, you also have the ability to deploy your order from this screen.
    • From this screen, you can delete your order.
    • You can modify the order name, notify creator, and notify emails if you click on settings.
  • If you (or an assigned approver) is satisfied with your order, click on deploy, then agree to the Deployment Terms to start the process to provision your server. The job will be queued, then will step through the build process.
