Option Description
Maximum value Maximum numeric value. For example, a field is limited to 50
characters.
Provide an error message. For example, This description
cannot exceed 50 characters.
n

n
Conditional value. The maximum value is determined by
the first expression that is true. For example, a maximum
storage value is 2 GB if the deployment location equals
AMEA.
n
External source. Value is based on the results of the
selected vRealize Orchestrator action.
Match field This field value must match the selected field value.
For example, a password confirmation field must match the

Using vRealize Orchestrator Actions in the Custom Forms
Designer
When you customize the request form for a vRealize Automation blueprint, you can base the behavior of
some fields on the results of a vRealize Orchestrator action.
There are several ways that you can use vRealize Orchestrator actions. You might have an action that
pulls the data from a third source, or you can use a script that defines the size and cost. This example
uses a script.
Example: Size and Cost Fields Example
In this use case, you want the catalog user to select a virtual machine size, and then display the cost of
that machine per day. To do this example, you have a vRealize Orchestrator that correlates the size and
cost, and you add a size field and a cost field to the blueprint custom form. The size field determines the
value that appears in the cost field.
1 In vRealize Orchestrator, configure an action, getWindows10Cost, with a deploymentSize script
similar to the following example.
