Service catalog
===============

The CloudBees CD/RO **Service catalog** allows you to define, request, and manage tasks and services in a standardized way across your organization. It provides a central place for creating reusable automated tasks that can be shared across teams, which helps streamline automation.

CloudBees CD/RO includes a **Service catalog** tutorial to help you get started. To access the tutorial:

1.  Select your profile menu in the upper right of the screen.
    
2.  Select the **Tutorials** menu option.
    
3.  Select the **Introduction to the service catalog** tutorial.
    

Follow the instructions in the tutorial to learn the basics of using the **Service catalog**.

For a detailed demonstration of using the service catalog, refer to the **Configure service catalogs and items** video on this page.

The **Configure service catalogs and items** video uses the legacy **Service catalog** UI, and includes references to elements that have changed. However, the theory explained and the demonstrations of configuring catalogs and catalog items are still instructive, and the basic UI elements of these objects have not changed.
