Creating 'Office 365 Add-on' Resource Types

Office 365 Add-on resource types represent Office 365 add-on offers. Only one Office 365 Add-on resource type must be created for every add-on type that you created earlier (see the Creating Add-on Types section for details).

Important: You must create only one Office 365 Add-on resource type of an add-on type per application instance. Do not create several Office 365 Add-on resource types for the same add-on type for the same application instance.

To create an Office 365 Add-on resource type, perform the following actions:

  1. In the Provider Control Panel, go to Services > Applications and select the APS Connectors tab.
  2. In the list of applications, select the Office 365 application.
  3. Select the Resource Types tab.
  4. Click Create.
  5. In the list of resource classes, select the Application Service Reference resource class.
  6. Specify the following parameters:

    • Name: The name of the resource type.
    • Description: The description of the resource type. This parameter is optional.

    Click Next.

  7. In the list of APS types, select the Add-on APS type.
  8. In the list of instances, select the required add-on type instance.
  9. Check the resource type parameters carefully and click Finish.

For example, create the following Office 365 Add-on resource types:

  • Office 365 Extra File Storage (1 GB)

    • Add-on type instance: Office 365 Extra File Storage
  • Exchange Online Archiving for Exchange Online

    • Add-on type instance: Exchange Online Archiving for Exchange Online
