¡ In the navigation area, position the cursor on a Business System (beneath the Services Without Party node or beneath a party) and in the context menu choose Assign Business System.

¡ Cursor positioned on the Services Without Party node: business system is not assigned to any communication party and is inserted in the navigation tree under Services Without Party.
¡ Cursor positioned on a Services node beneath a communication party: business system is assigned to this communication party and is inserted in the navigation tree under Services beneath this party.
