#Create a service
- 1Open the catalog
Go to WatheeqTech → Admin → Service Catalog and select New Service.
- 2Describe the service
Enter a stable code, request type, bilingual name, bilingual description and supported intake channel.
- 3Set availability
Choose the eligible audience and add department, entity or role rules when the service is restricted.
- 4Configure governance
Enable requester approval, provider approval or both as required by the operating model.
- 5Set SLA targets
Configure acknowledgement and completion targets against the active working calendar.
- 6Activate and test
Save the service, activate it, and confirm it appears for an eligible requester but not an ineligible user.
Treat the service code as an integration identifier. Change the bilingual display name when needed, but avoid recycling codes.
#Validation checklist
- The service is active and accepts the intended channel
- Eligibility rules match the target organization units
- Urgent requests require a justification
- SLA calculations honor weekends, holidays and Ramadan hours
- Approval requirements have a matching active policy
- A test requester can complete every required field and attachment
