createduponcompletionofthedeploymentprocedureor
afteradesktopisdeleted.

Numberofdesktops Specifiesthenumberofdesktops
tocreateinthispool.This

VMnamingpattern Bydefault,aprefixisusedtoidentifyalldesktopsinapool
aspartofthesamegroup.Theprefixcanbeupto13
characters
inlengthandanumericsuffixisappendedto
thisentryinordertodistinguisheachdesktopfromothers
inthesamepool.
Youcanoverridethisbehaviorbyenteringanamethat
containsatokenrepresentingthepoolnumber;thetoken
canappearanywhereinthename.Forexample:
amber-{n}-desktop
Afterdeployment
{n}isreplacedwiththepoolnumberof
thedesktop.
Fixedlengthtokenscanbeenteredusingthen:fixed=
construction.Forexample:
amber-{n:fixed=3}
Afterdeployment{n:fixed=3}isreplacedwitha
fixed‐lengthpoolnumberforeachthedesktop:
amber-001,amber-002,amber-003andsoforth.
A15characterlimitappliestonamesthatcontain
atoken,
butonlytothe“replaced”formwherethetokenlengthis
fixed.Forexample:
my-view-system{n:fixed=1}
Wherethetokenlengthisnotfixed,abufferof1isapplied
tothetoken,sothemaximum“replaced”lengthis14
characters.Forexample:
