This will take you to the 'Manage Installations' page as shown below.
- On the 'Manage Installations' page, depending on whether you are creating an installation from scratch or configuring an existing installation either click on the 'Add Installation' button, or click on the installation name you wish to edit.
You will then be brought to the installation details page in create mode.

All the inputs on this page are required unless stated otherwise. Note that there is context-sensitive help to assist with these fields.
