The services page

From the Services page backend services can be registered and managed.

A backend service is basically an unmanaged REST endpoint fronted by the API Platform's API Gateway.

A service registered in this page can be referenced from the API implementation page that way preventing a backend endpoint URLs to be manually typed every time an API is created.

This page is only available but from version 17.3.x onwards.
Management portal–services page

Once a service is created, it can be edited just clicking over it. This will take the user to the service settings page described subsequently.
