# Services
The **Services** view is used to view, create, and manage services in your NSO deployment. The default **Services** view displays the existing services.
Services View
## Search
If you have multiple services configured, you can use the **Search** to filter down results to the service of your choice. The search filter matches the entered characters to the service name and shows the results accordingly. Results are shown only for the service point that you have selected.
To filter the service list:
1. In the **Select service type** drop-down, select the service point to populate all the services under it.
2. Enter a partial or full name of the service you are searching for.
3. Press **Enter**.
## Create a Service
To create and deploy a service:
1. In the **Select service type** drop-down, select the service point.
2. Click the **Add service** button. You will be redirected to the **Configuration editor** view.
3. Click the button.
4. In the pop-up, enter the name of the service that will identify it.
5. Click **Create**.
6. You can configure additional service data in the **Configuration editor**.
7. Review and commit the service to NSO in the **Transactions** view. Committing the service deploys it to NSO and displays it in the **Services** view.
## Edit Service Configuration
Service configuration is viewed and carried out in the Configuration Editor. In the **Services** view, you can use the **Modify in Config Editor** option on the desired service to access its config in the Configuration Editor. You need to have **Edit mode** enabled to perform edits.
{% hint style="warning" %}
The **Configuration editor** view shows a host of options when configuring a service. You are expected to be well-versed with these options (and service concepts in general) before you delve into service configuration. Refer to the [Services](/guides/development/core-concepts/services.md) and [Developing Services](/guides/development/advanced-development/developing-services.md) documentation for more information.
{% endhint %}

To apply an action on a service:
1. On the desired service in the list, click the more options button.
2. Choose the preferred action from the list, i.e., **Re-deploy**, **Un-deploy**, **Check sync**, **Deep check sync**, or **get modifications**.
