Overview
The Nimbus administration opens the "Overview" by default for all users of the Administrator Group.
💡 This view differs slightly depending on your administration role. Multi-Tenant Admins get a Tenant selection while Single-Tenant Admins will directly be presented with the list of services within their Tenant.

Total Services - Status Widget
The "Total services" widget on top of the "Overview" summarizes your services in an escalated manner. Think of it as a service's lifetime-workflow that starts with "uncompleted" and ends with "pending deletion" of a service.
The states (from top to bottom) are as follows:
UNCOMPLETED - Provisioning has started. A new service has been created in Nimbus database, but also needs to registered in Microsoft Azure. 🔍 See Nimbus Installation
SERVICES APPLIED - The provisioning is completed and the service is ready to be called. Nimbus will distribute calls among the service and log them for reporting statistics.
SERVICES RUNNING - A service has been called and calls have been recorded in the Nimbus database.
PSTN APPLIED - A service is now reachable via PSTN. 🔍 Numbers require a phone licence to be requested from Microsoft.
PSTN RUNNING - A service has been called via PSTN and calls have been recorded in the Nimbus database.
SUSPENDED - A service user has opted to "remove Nimbus completely" from the services tab. → After 30 days the corresponding Nimbus service will be "pending deletion"
PENDING DELETION - services that have exceeded "suspended" time or have been removed by a tenant administrator will be pending for deletion. Once de-registered from Azure the services will be removed permanently.
GOOD TO KNOW
A service state is always unique and unambigous, meaning that a service can only have one status at a time.
A service that is pending for deletion can be restored from Luware if it has not been completely de-registered from Azure or completely removed from your local services instance.
🔍 Learn more about service provisioning and removal in the Nimbus Installation chapter.
