c (Optional) Enter a property value.
For example, enter True.
d (Optional) Select the Encrypted check box to specify that the property value must be encrypted.
For example, if the value is to be a password or other secure entry, using the encrypted option
hides the value characters.
e (Optional) Select the Show in Request check box to display the property on the request form
when requesting machine provisioning.
f Click OK to add the property to the group.

Defining Component Profile Settings
You can use component profiles to configure advanced property management capabilities in
vRealize Automation blueprints. Deployers can then use the Size and Image component profiles on a
blueprint to select pre-defined value sets.
You can use the Size and Image component profiles, and their specified value sets, to map to a logical
grouping such as Small, Medium, and Large or Dev, Test, and Production. By using these settings, you
can reduce the number of blueprints that you need to maintain.
A component profile defines settings for a vSphere machine component in a blueprint. For example, you
might define a component profile for a small size virtual machine deployment. You might define another
component profile for a large size machine deployment. You can use vRealize Automation to define the
following component profile types:
n
Size
See Configure Component Profile Size Settings for Catalog Deployments.
n
Image
See Configure Component Profile Image Settings for Catalog Deployments.
You can define multiple named value sets within the Size and Image component profile types and add
one or more of the value sets to machine components in a blueprint. Each value set that you define for
the component profile type contains the following configurable settings:
n
Name that requesters see when they provision a machine
n
Unique identifier for tenant
n
Description
n
Set of value choices for each option in the value set
You cannot define other component profile types.
