Services⚓︎

This section explains how Points of Contact can create and manage data services linked to their project group.

For a list of all guides on the TCAT Wiki, refer to the Guides List.

Overview⚓︎

The Services page lists all services associated with the currently active project group. Use the Search Service field to filter by name, the All type dropdown to filter by service type, and the Show Active dropdown to toggle visibility of inactive services.

Each service entry displays its type badge (OSW, Flex, or Pathways), its name, and its Id (select the copy icon to copy it to your clipboard).

The options available on this page depend on your roles.

Member View⚓︎

As a regular member, the Services page shows a read-only list of the project group's services with no edit controls.
