Save the flow and the Service Name will now be located in the All Services Folder inDecisions Account Management.

A message will display in the right corner with an alert confirming that the services and data types are now available.

Next, locate the All Services Folder to locate the new Service Method. In the folder tree navigate to Sytem> Administration> Features> All Services.

Inside the All Services folder, a list of out of the box web services is available. Locate DecisoinsAccountManagement and select to view the action menu.
