What to do next
To add properties to the approval form, see Configure the Approval Form to Include System and Custom

Configure the Approval Form to Include System and Custom Properties
You can add system and custom properties that appear on an approval form. You add these properties so
that the approvers can change the values of system properties for machine resource settings such as
CPU, lease, or memory, and custom properties before they complete an approval request.
The available system properties depend on the approval policy type and how the blueprint is configured.
For some properties, the configured field in the blueprint must include a minimum and maximum value
before the property appears in the system properties list.
Custom properties can be added when you add the approval level. If a custom property is configured and
included in a blueprint, the custom properties you add to the approval form overwrite any other instances
of that custom property for example, in blueprints, property groups, or endpoints.
The approver can modify selected or configured properties in the approval form.
