Table 4‑27. Properties > Custom Properties Tab Settings (Continued)
Setting Description
Overridable You can specify that the property value can be overridden by the
next or subsequent person who uses the property. Typically, this
is another architect, but if you select Show in request, your
business users are able to see and edit property values when
they request catalog items.
Show in Request If you want to display the property name and value to your end
users, you can select to display the property on the request form
when requesting machine provisioning. You must also select
overridable if you want users to provide a value.
You can use the Property Groups tab to add and configure settings for existing custom property groups.
You can create your own property groups or use property groups that have been created for you.
Table 4‑28. Properties > Property Groups Tab Settings
Setting Description
Name Select an available property group from the drop-down menu.
Move Up and Move Down Control the precedence level of listed property groups in
descending order. The first-listed property group has
precedence over the next-listed property group and so on.
View Properties Display the custom properties in the selected property group.
View Merged Properties Display all the custom properties in the listed property groups in
the order in which they appear in the list of property groups.
Where the same property appears in more than one property
group, the property name appears only once in the list based on
when it is first encountered in the list.
Troubleshooting Blueprints for Clone and Linked Clone
When creating a linked clone or clone blueprint, machine or templates are missing. Using your shared
clone blueprint to request machines fails to provision machines.
Problem
When working with clone or linked clone blueprints, you might encounter one of the following problems:
n
When you create a linked clone blueprint, no machines appear in the list to clone, or the machine you
want to clone does not appear.
n
When you create a clone blueprint, no templates appear in the list of templates to clone, or the
template you want does not appear.
n
When machines are requested by using your shared clone blueprint, provisioning fails.
n
Because of data collection timing, a template that has been removed is still visible to users as they
create or edit linked clone blueprints.
