2. Go to Organizations in the navigation pane and open the organization and space where the application is located.
3. Go to the Spaces tab and locate the space that contains the application.
4. In the target space page, go to the Services tab.
5. In the table of Service instances, go to the Actions menu in the far right of the row corresponding to the service instance you want to bind, and select Bind.
