DSX: expose all Bluemix services under Data Services > Services

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

In certain situations a DSX user might have to obtain credentials of a service that has been provisioned in Bluemix. Navigating to "Data Services > Services" (main menu) seems to display only a subset of all services that the user has access to. To see the complete list of services one has to go to "avatar icon > settings > services". To improve usability there should be just a single place where one can view the services and manage credentials.

    Hey Patrick (not sure how to tag you - aha doesn't seem to support the tagging functionality) - your idea seems like you would like to expose all of the Bluemix catalog underneath the 'Data Service' tab option? Is that correct?
