Service Catalogue

The TEF Service Explorer lets you browse, search and filter the services offered across the TEF-Health consortium, then either request a service directly or apply for a discount through an open call.

Opening the catalogue

Go to /services, or click Services / View services from the portal home. The catalogue is public: anyone can browse it, see the prices that providers have published and select services. Signing in shows the remaining prices and lets you bookmark services, send a request or apply for a discount.

Searching and filtering

The left-hand panel filters the list. Below Search, a free-text box matching service name and description, it has three sections. Filters from all of them combine. While any filter is on, Reset n filters beside Search clears them all, so you never have to scroll to the end of the panel for Reset Filters.

• Filter by need starts from what you are looking for. What support do you need? lists seven kinds of support, such as Support in setting up a clinical investigation. Tick one or more. A broad one opens its next questions beneath it, so you can say more precisely what you need: Test my solution in practice opens I need a real healthcare environment, which asks whether your solution is a medical device. A question opens only where at least one of its answers narrows the list. Each line shows how many services it holds with your other filters applied.
• Filter by offer starts from what providers offer:
  • Offerings: the catalogue's offering types, multi-select. Each carries its full agreed name, such as Data Provisioning (real world and synthetic). That is the same vocabulary as the TEF-Health Knowledge Graph, so a count taken here matches one taken there.
  • Delivery Type: how the service is delivered: Physical, Consulting, Virtual or Education.
  • Call: services eligible for a discount through a specific open call. Only currently open calls are listed, matching the calls page.
• Filter by provider narrows by who provides the service: Service Type (TEF-Health service or External service), Country (countries that have at least one published service) and Provider (the providing institution).

Country, Provider and Offerings show a number next to their label — how many countries, providers and offering types the services currently listed come from. That number counts distinct values, never services: Offerings 35 means the listed services carry 35 different offering types between them. The numbers follow every filter you set: pick one country and it reads Country 1, while Provider tells you how many institutions in that country still have something to offer. Inside each dropdown every entry additionally carries its own count of matching services.

Every filter you set is saved into the page URL, so a filtered view can be shared — see Sharing a filtered view below.

Working the dropdowns

Country, Provider and Offerings hold long lists, so each opens as a searchable dropdown. Click the box, type to narrow the list, and click a row to tick it. Every value you pick becomes a chip in the box; click the × on a chip to drop that one value. A facet near the foot of the panel opens upwards, so the list is never cut off by the bottom of the screen and the buttons underneath stay reachable.

The dropdowns work from the keyboard as well: ↑ ↓ move through the list, Enter ticks the highlighted value, Backspace on an empty search box removes the last chip, and Escape closes the list.

On a phone the panel is folded away behind a Filters button, which carries a number badge counting how many filters are currently narrowing the list.

The results can be viewed as cards, a table, or grouped by institution using the view toggle above the list.

Sharing a filtered view

Any combination of filters can be shared as a link — the recipient opens exactly the same filtered catalogue. For example, to share all business-related services:

1. Go to /services — use the real page address, not a copied backend or search link.
2. Apply your filters — e.g. tick Business (market readiness, monitoring, feasibility, etc.) under Offerings (combine with any other filters, such as a Delivery Type or Country).
3. Copy the URL from the browser's address bar and share it. It now carries your filters, as in /services?offering=business-market-readiness-monitoring-feasibility-etc, so opening it re-applies them. A medical domain travels by name, as in /services?medical_domain=Oncology, which is also where a domain badge in the homepage's Impact section leads.

Click a service to open its detail view with the full description, keywords, standards and certifications. The URL gains that service's identifier while the detail view is open, so the link you copy from the address bar reopens exactly this: your filters, with that service on top. Closing the detail view drops the identifier again, and so does the browser's Back button.

Viewing details, selecting and bookmarking

A service's detail page (/services/<id>) shows everything about the service. What you can do there depends on whether you are signed in:

• Anyone can:
  • read the full description, provider, keywords, standards and certifications.
  • see the full and reduced (SME / state-aid) prices on the Pricing tab, wherever the provider has published them. For the other services the tab asks you to sign in or register.
  • Select the service (Select +). A selection made while signed out is kept when you sign in.
• Signed-in users additionally get:
  • Pricing for every service.
  • Bookmark — save a service for later without selecting it (the bookmark icon).
  • Add to Application — turn your selection into a request or a discount application.

Back in the explorer, use the panel controls Show Selected and Show Bookmark to narrow the list to just your selected or bookmarked services.

When you are ready, choose how to proceed:

• Fast-Track Service Request (Full Price) — request the service directly at full price.
• Apply for Discounts — submit an application for a discount via a TEF-Health open call.

Sharing and linking to a service

Two links lead to the same service, and both are permanent:

• /services?popup=<service ID> reopens the catalogue with that service's detail view on top. This is the address your browser shows while a service is open, and the one the copy and share icons hand out.
• /services/<service ID> is the service's own page, without the catalogue behind it. The expand icon in the top corner of the detail view opens it.

The identifier belongs to that service for good, so both keep working after the service is renamed, re-priced or re-described.

To share one service:

1. Open the service from the catalogue list.
2. Copy the link. Either take the URL from the browser's address bar, or click the copy icon (two overlapping squares). Both give you the same link, and the icon confirms with a brief Copied!.
3. Send it. Anyone can open the link, including people outside TEF-Health.

The copy icon sits on every service card too, so you can take a link without opening the service first. Beside it, the share icon offers that link through your phone or tablet's share sheet, and copies it to the clipboard on a desktop.

Because these pages are public, anyone who opens your link sees the full service description straight away. They are asked to sign in only to see a price the provider has not published, or to request the service or apply for it.
