The sub-branches beneath a newly created Web Service (as mentioned in Create a New Web Service) allow you to create a Web Manipulator.
A Web Manipulator allows users to call a REST service on demand, rather than being tethered to a single subscription during runtime. This also allows users to modify parameters before calling a service. Once configured, a Web Manipulator can be selected as a data source from the Data Browser. Note that a Web Manipulator will not show a live value in runtime until it is executed.
