# Creating Digital Service

## Digital Service Onboarding

Follow the steps outlined in the portal to successfully onboard a new digital service. The onboarding process includes:

1. **Creation of a New Digital Service**: 
   * Enter the required details, such as the service name, description, and metadata.
2. **Approval Process:**
   * Once submitted, the service request will be reviewed and approved by **GovTech personnel**.
   * Once the request is approved, its status will be set to '**Inactive'**.
3. **Post-Approval Configuration:**
   * After approval, you can configure additional settings:
     * Determine whether the service requires additional checks from the agency.
     * Define which entity types are permitted to use the service.
     * Specify if foreign entities are allowed to transact with the service.
4. **Authorisation Metadata (Optional):**
   * You can add the following authorisation metadata to the service:
     * **Sub-UEN**
     * **Roles**
     * **Parameters**

## Publishing the Digital Service

* After completing the onboarding and approval process, you can publish the digital service by clicking the **'Activate'** button. This action will change the status of the service to **Active**, making it available for use.
  * **Note:**

    If you need to suspend the service for any reason (e.g., security concerns or fraud), you can deactivate it by clicking the **'Deactivate'** button. This will change the status of the digital service to **'Inactive'**, effectively halting its use until it is reactivated.
