Sequenced Designer

For more information about sequenced designs, see Sequenced Designs.

The Designer allows you to design your sequenced services by creating a hierarchy of service components. A service component is an element of a service design. A service component has a component type that constrains its allowed children and assignable resource offerings.

An example hierarchy of service components, as shown below, has a Service Composite that contains an Infrastructure Service, which contains a Server Group and a Virtual Network. Also, the Server Group contains a Server (marked as a Pattern), while the Virtual Network contains a Policy Enforcement Point.

1. In the Application Release Automation dashboard, click Designs, and then click Sequenced.
2. Click the Designer sidebar menu item. The Sequenced Designs page appears.
3. Select a service design version. If no versions exist, click New. For more information about versions, see Design Versions.
