Specify Custom Properties and Alerts for vCloud Director Reservations
You can associate custom properties with a vRealize Automation reservation. You can also congure alerts
to send email notications when reservation resources are low.
Custom properties and email alerts are optional congurations for the reservation. If you do not want to
associate custom properties or set alerts, click Save to nish creating the reservation.
You can add as many custom properties as apply to your needs.
If congured, alerts are generated daily, rather than when the specied thresholds are reached.
I Notications are only sent if email alerts are congured and notications are enabled.
Alerts are not available for Pay As You Go reservations that were created with no specied limits.
