Chapter 7 Configuring Cisco IAC With the Wizard
Setting System-Wide Services and Provisioning
Setting System-Wide Service Options
When a service is disabled, ALL users, including the CTPA, are disallowed from ordering the given
service. Although users can see the link to a disabled service, a “disabled” message displays, and
“Submit” buttons are hidden on the service forms.
Tip You can re-enable a disabled service at any time. Disabling an option only affects what users can order
from the catalog from the time the Set System Wide Service Options service order is fulfilled. It does
not affect current services already ordered.
Step 1 From the Wizard, choose Set System-wide Service Options.
Step 2 Choose the proper options based on your hardware inventory.
Step 3 Disable a service by clicking the No radio button, or re-enable a disabled service by clicking the Yes
radio button.
Step 4 Click Submit Order.
Step 5 Click on the number in the Requisition Number field to display the details.
Step 6 Click Close when the status says Completed.
