Procedure
1 Log in to vRealize Automation as an administrator.
2 Select Advanced Services > Service Blueprints.
3 Click the Add Blueprint (+) icon.
4 Navigate through the vRealize Orchestrator workflow library and select a workflow from the Library >
Horizon > Workflows > vCAC folder.
5 Click Next, and specify the workflow name and description that will appear in the
vRealize Automation service catalog.
6 Click Next, and on the Blueprint Form tab, click the plus icon (+).
7 In the New Form dialog box, title the form Request Details, and in the Screen type list, select
Submitted request details and click Submit.
In the Fields list on the left side of the form, you can scroll down and see a new section called Outputs.
8 Click a parameter item under Outputs in the Fields list, and drag it onto the form page.
For example, if you were creating a blueprint from a desktop allocation workflow, you could click the
htmlAccessUrl item under Outputs in the Fields list, and drag the htmlAccessUrl item onto the form
page.
9 Click Next, and on the Provisioned Resource tab, click Add.
The blueprint is added to the Service Blueprints page, and the status is set to Draft.
10 To publish the blueprint, select Publish from the Actions list for the blueprint.
The item now appears on the Administrator > Catalog Management > Catalog Items tab.
What to do next
Configure the catalog item for this service. After a user submits a request using this catalog item, if you go
to the Requests tab and view the details of one of the requests for this item, you see the output parameters
listed on the Step tab.

In vRealize Automation, administrators can configure workflows to appear in the catalog for delegated
administrators and end users.
