There are five Services in this example, from (616)878-1001 to (616)878-1005, that are set to the parent Catalog of Phones in the Phones grid. The rest of the Services from (616)878-1006 to (616)878-1013 are all set to the child Service Catalog Cisco VOIP.

Services in Pools

There are five Services being added to the Pool. The Services are in the range from (616)878-1001 to (616)878-1005.

What this means for the User on an Add Action is that the Available Service picker will be limited to only the Services in the Service Pool when the Service Catalog 'Cisco VOIP' is selected. The other Services that are assigned to this Service Catalog are prevented from appearing in the picker.
