### Designing a Service
In the **Services Pipeline** tab, it is the designing phase of the service and it will present the services which are not for production yet. We have the following actions available:
| **Action** | **Description** |

| **New Service** | To start creating a service for the Service Portfolio. For the fields to be completed, see the document [Register/Edit a service](/en-us/citsmart-platform-9/processes/portfolio-and-catalog/use/register-a-service.html) |
| **Service Name** | To order the list of services in the pipeline by name |

"**Production**".
