The Name column specifies a label for the service.
The Service column specifies the services associated with the labels on the menu.
Number of recently used services to list
Indicates the maximum number of recently-accessed services that you want to appear in the Palette view.
Validate flow service
When Validate service references while saving is cleared, Designer does not validate the referenced services while saving a flow service. By default, this check box is not selected.
When Validate service references while saving is selected, Designer validates all the referenced services while saving a flow service.

Document references in Pipeline view
When Show referenced document type name in Pipeline view is selected, Designer displays the full namespace path of the referenced document types in Pipeline view.
Note:
You can also set this property by right-clicking anywhere inside the Pipeline view and selecting Show Referenced Document Type Name.
Scrolling in Pipeline view
When Enable independent scrolling is selected, Designer enables the Pipeline In, Pipeline Out, Service In, Service Out, and Transformers columns to be scrolled horizontally and vertically independent of each other. This makes it easy to scroll through data when mapping a large amount of data in the Pipeline view.
To hide the horizontal and vertical scroll bars, clear the Enable independent scrolling check box.
