Document a service provided by an app.
Service extend the functionality of a platform. Services are often not directly available to users engaged with the UI of a platform. None-the-less users may benefit from these services and need to know what work is done in the background. Services may also provide an API for integration of functionality into the user's automation process.

The document type app-service provides the following properties:
Path

Sections
Description
Give a short overview over what the service is about (very brief) and what information this document provides.
Subordinate Services
Provide information of subordinate services.
Notes
These are internal notes that are usually not exported and only visible to team members with write access.
But this is not a safe place to store sensible information. It is just a convenience for the reader to not be bothered with notes stored here for the authors for later use. The security level is about suppressing the representation by a CSS style. Therefore consider this as a convenience for the reader, not as a security tool.
References
For a document the references section contains pointers to resources that prove the statements of the document.
Often these proofs are not easily distinguishable from further information. In this case you may want to skip the reference section in favour for the resource list.
Resources
The resources section provides references to further information to the topic of the document.
This may be information on the internet provided by the resource or information in the team's information systems. Anything the reader of the resource might want to know, may be listed here.
