Edit structure

Clicking on this button will open the drag and drop ticket profile editor in a new dialog.

You can edit the profile structure in a drag and drop area with two main sections. The profile structure and the available items let you set the exact needs of the client for the structure of the selectable services topology. The available items include the added and enabled languages, the active service groups, and the services. You have to drag and drop the desired items one by one to configure the topology. When a service group is added to the layout, the services of the group are automatically added as well.

Closing the dialog will not save your layout. Make sure to save everything by the Save button at the bottom.
