New/Edit Service window

The New Service and Edit Service windows are typically accessed via the Services window when the File > New Service... or File > Edit Service... menu commands or the corresponding toolbar buttons are chosen.

This window is divided into three pages. Below is a brief description of each; click on the page name for more information about each:

Summary: The first page includes fields where you can name this service and write comments about it, plus an overview of the other pages.

Service Kind: Choose the service plug-in on this page. Simon uses plug-ins to provide the actual checking functionality, allowing greater flexibility and expandability.

Auto Pause: This feature allows you to suspend checking all tests that use this kind of service on specified days (or any day) and times. Normally you'd probably want to auto-pause a test instead, but this is a quick way to pause a kind of service for many tests.
