Table 3‑65. Custom Request Form Action Menu Items
Action Menu Item Description
Generate Form Adds all the fields associated with each blueprint component to
the form designer. Each component is added to a tab. If you use
this menu item after you created or modified a form, the
generated form overwrites your current form.
If you use this menu item, you can hide or remove fields that you
do not want to present to your users in the catalog. If you do not
generate the form, you can still add and configure the text boxes
that you want your users to see.
Import Form. Imports a custom form JSON or YAML file.
Export Form Exports your current custom form as a JSON file.
Export the file when you want to use part of it that matches a
component that you use in another blueprint.
Export form as YAML Exports your current custom form as YAML.
Export the file as YAML when you want to move a custom from
one vRealize Automation instance to another. For example, from
your test environment to your production environment. If you
prefer to edit the form as YAML, you can export the form, edit it,
and then import it back into the blueprint.
Import CSS Imports a CSS file that enhances the catalog request form.
The file might be similar to the following example. This example
changes the font size and makes the text bold. The field
referenced is the Deploy Machine with Active Directory User
Account text field that appears in the image located in the
Custom Request Form Designer section above.
#<field-ID> .grid-item {
font-size: 16px;
font-weight: bold;
width: 600px;
}
In this example, <field-ID> is the ID for the field in the canvas.
To locate the value, select the field in the canvas. The value is
located in the right pane, below the name. In the image above,
the value is text_d947bc97.
To import the file. Save it as <filename>.css.
