Setting Description
Name Enter the name of a custom property or select an available
custom property from the drop-down menu.
Value Enter or edit a value to associate with the custom property
name.
Encrypted You can choose to encrypt the property value, for example, if
the value is a password.
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

What to do next
You can continue configuring container network settings in the Network tab of a container component in
the design canvas.
Associating Network and Security Components
You can drag network and security components onto the design canvas to make their settings available
for machine component configuration in the blueprint. After you have defined network and security
settings for the machine, you can optionally associate settings from a load balancer component.
After you add an NSX network or security component to the design canvas and define its available
settings, you can open the network and security tabs of a vSphere machine component in the canvas and
configure its settings.
The network and security component settings that you add to the design canvas are derived from your
NSX configuration and require that you have installed the NSX plug-in and run data collection for the NSX
inventory for vSphere clusters. Network and security components are specific to NSX and are available
for use with vSphere machine components only. For information about configuring NSX, see NSX
Administration Guide.
For example, you can drag an on-demand NAT network component onto the design canvas to make it
available for a vSphere machine component in the blueprint.
Using Container Components in Blueprints
You can configure and use container components in the blueprint.
