Service Channels
The Voucher Server supports integration with third party network elements via the concept of a Service Channel.
Service Channels define API codes that when provided with external inbound API requests control what features the third party integration can access.
To access the Service Channel search page, select the Service Channels menu link.
All configured Service Channels will be shown with standard features for searching and sorting available via the table controls.
Double clicking a row or clicking the edit icon will display the Service Channel details page.
Note: The default Queue Process and GUI service channels can not be modified or deleted.
In the example screenshot the configured Service Channel Demo-Script is configured as active with all permissions granted.
