  10. Click Next.

  11. Optional: On the Self Service tab, enable the Generate Self Service Product toggle to automatically create a product (see Products) which grants access to this application. The Group is the group which will mediate access to the application (i.e., the group that the product will add the user to). If you select Generate Group, the name of the group will be HelloIDApp.<AppName>.

  15. Optional: Customize a mapping set for this application.

  16. Optional: Add a product which grants access to an application

  18. For most SPs, you'll need to download the metadata file from HelloID and send it to the SP, so they can complete the configuration.
