# Sub-Service Rules

Sub-services can be used to logically group services together. For example, an Internet T-1 Service may have an Access Pipe as a sub-service.

If you selected Allow Sub-Services check box on the New (or Edit) Service window (see [Adding New Services](/v1/docs/adding-editing-services), [Adding New Services](/v1/docs/adding-editing-services-1)), you must specify which types of services are allowed as child services.

To specify child service types:

1. Right-click on the parent service and select **Sub-Service Rules**.
