     {#cloudmgt-manage-stacks__ul_t3v_sq1_l2b}
   * List of the stack properties. Some properties are set in the stack request form and others are set by policy
   * Activities associated with the stack. Click a tab to view:
     * Change requests that are associated with the stack. See [Track a change request](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/fV4tUnD7Z9f6xrTJ1YPzJw "The system generates a change request when you perform a life cycle operation on a stack or resource.").
     * Incidents that were raised for the stack. See [Submit an incident for a stack](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/VSGpKmWZY3Ak7fZHwzAFKA "Submit an incident for a stack when it is not working as expected or you have questions. When the user responds or solves the issue, the incident is closed.") and [Track an incident](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/TsVcslFOAzvj4MBeYX6URg "Before an incident is resolved and closed, you can view the state of the incident.").
     * Cloud events that are associated with the stack. Cloud Events appears only when a resource is selected. See [View cloud events](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/Z77Bhw7ykyEaaU4Dq6a7~A "You can view the events that are generated from your cloud resources if your administrator configured Cloud Provisioning and Governance to monitor them. All events are listed on the Cloud Events tab on the stack details page.").
     * Catalog tasks associated with the stack. See [Resubmit a failed stack request](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/FeOrRND8nSCjN53lLOkc8Q "The Cloud Provisioning and Governance application creates a remediation or a catalog task when a request for a stack fails to provision. You can resubmit the failed request or assign it to the Cloud Operator group to handle it for you.").
     * Upcoming business hours schedule operations associated with the stack. You can skip an upcoming operation or cancel a schedule associated with the stack. See [Modify business schedule operations for a stack](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/~QtOdtqv9dKWlWw2l58m7A "Business hours scheduling can be performed on stacks at the time of provisioning or on existing stacks.").
     {#cloudmgt-manage-stacks__ul_z2r_dr1_l2b}
   * Operations you can perform on a stack. See [Perform a life-cycle operation on a stack or resource](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/BovcZjA7cfXl2LV03pXMSg "Operations like Start/Stop, Deprovision, and ExecuteScript are called life-cycle operations or day-2 operations. When you request a life-cycle operation on a stack or resource, the system generates a change request. An approval policy specifies either that the change is auto-approved or that a user on the approver list must approve the change.").
   * Text box used to search the Cloud User Portal for stacks, resources based on types, stack requests, change requests, incidents, keys, and catalog items.
