    The Add Service dialog box is displayed.

  6. To make an attribute available as a required data-entry field to users of the blueprint, click the publish icon:

    Note: If you need to modify the attribute so that it is no longer published, click the publish icon again.

  7. To add the service to the blueprint, click Add.
