Option Description
Properties The list of available system properties depends on the selected
request type or catalog item, and whether system properties
exist for the item.
Some properties are available only when the blueprint is
configured in a particular way. For example, CPUs. The blueprint
to which you are applying the approval policy with the CPU
system property must be configured as a range. For example,
CPU minimum is 2 and the maximum is 8.
Add Custom Properties to Approval Policy Settings
You configure custom properties that you want to add to the approval form to allow the approver to modify
the value.
For example, for a virtual machine approval, add VMware.VirtualCenter.Folder if you want to allow
the approver to specify the folder to which the machine is added in vCenter Server.
You can also add a custom property that is specific to this approval policy form.
To select system properties, select Administration > Approval Polices. Click New. Select the policy

Modify an Approval Policy
You cannot modify an active or inactive approval policy. You must create a copy of the original policy and
replace the policy that is not producing the required results. Active and inactive approval policies are
read-only. You can modify approval polices that are in a draft state.
When you make the copy of the approval policy, the new policy is based on the original policy type. You
can edit all of the attributes except the policy type. You do this when you want to modify the approval
levels to modify, add, or remove levels, or to add system or custom properties to the forms.
You can create pre-approval and post-approval levels. For instructions about creating an approval level,
see Create an Approval Level.
