| Name                     | Give the service a descriptive name.                                                                                                                                                                       |
| Registry                 | Select the registry that contains the image you wish to use for the service.                                                                                                                               |
| Image                    | Enter the name of the image. If you're using Docker Hub you can also search for images from here.                                                                                                          |
| Scheduling mode          | Select either to replicate the service on the same host or deploy it globally with one container on each host.                                                                                             |
| Replicas                 | Set the number of replicas (only if the scheduling mode is set to **Replicated**).                                                                                                                         |
| Port mapping             | Define the ports to expose on the new service.                                                                                                                                                             |
| Create a service webhook | Toggle on to create a [webhook](/user/docker/services/webhooks.md) for the service. You can send a POST request to this endpoint to automate pulling the most up-to-date image and re-deploy your service. |
