Adding and Removing Services in TRUENDO CMP
Introduction#
Managing the services associated with your website is crucial for maintaining compliance with data protection regulations and ensuring that your consent banners and policies are up to date. The TRUENDO Consent Management Platform (CMP) automatically scans each licensed domain once a month to populate the service list. However, you may need to add or remove services manually to reflect changes promptly without waiting for the next scheduled scan.
This guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to add and remove services manually within the TRUENDO CMP.
1. Prerequisites#
Before proceeding, ensure you have:
- Access to the TRUENDO Console: You need login credentials to access your organization's TRUENDO account.
- Appropriate Permissions: Ensure you have the necessary rights to modify services within your organization's TRUENDO CMP.
- Relevant Organization and Domain Selected: Know which organization and domain you will be working with.
2. Adding a Service#
Step 1: Navigate to the Services Section
- Log In to TRUENDO: Enter your credentials to access the TRUENDO Console.
-
Select Your Organization and Domain:
- At the top of the main TRUENDO menu, use the dropdown menus to select the relevant Organization and Domain.
- The domain selection is crucial as services are managed on a per-domain basis.
Step 2: Add a New Service
-
Navigate to the Services Section:
- From the left-hand menu, click on Services.
-
Access the Draft Mode:

-
Search or Browse for the Service:

Publish the Changes:
