Where to Define vRealize Automation Property Dictionary Items

D.

In vRealize Automation, property dictionary items are used to define custom properties that can be associated with a specific type of object such as a virtual machine, a blueprint or a deployment environment. These custom properties can be used to provide additional information or metadata about an object and can be used in a variety of ways such as custom naming conventions, policies or automation workflows.

The property dictionary items in vRealize Automation are defined in the Design tab of the vRealize Automation interface. Within the Design tab, you can create and manage custom properties for various types of objects such as blueprints, catalog items, and resource reservations.

To create a new property dictionary item, you need to select the appropriate object type and navigate to the Custom Properties tab. From there, you can create a new custom property and define its name, data type, default value, and other relevant attributes. You can also specify whether the custom property is mandatory or optional, and whether it should be displayed to end-users.

Once you have defined a custom property, it can be used in blueprints, policies, or automation workflows. You can reference the custom property using the notation ${property_name} where property_name is the name of the custom property.

In summary, vRealize Automation property dictionary items are defined in the Design tab of the vRealize Automation interface, specifically within the Custom Properties tab of the appropriate object type.
