Accessing the Shopping Cart Pages
If billing is enabled in your environment, you are redirected to the shopping cart page when paying for certain items. These items include new virtual private clouds (VPCs), duration extensions, and archive requests. To access the shopping cart at any time, click the "Cart(s)" link at the top right of the Viewpoint navigation.
Shopping Cart Page Overview
Once in the shopping cart, you can view what items constitute the cart. Quantity cannot be changed because of implications with Moab Workload Manager scheduling conflicts. An empty shopping cart looks like this:
Funding a Cart
In this example, a "Create New VPC" request is added to the cart with its associated summary of information. The billing information coming from Moab Workload Manager calculates the cost of the VPC at $500.00. From the "Shopping Cart" page, you can select a payment option and checkout. Depending on your Viewpoint configuration, you can fund the shopping cart using an external payment mechanism that generates a new account to fund with, or you can fund the shopping cart through Moab's allocation management system.
Shopping Carts Table
If you have multiple shopping carts from previous sessions in Viewpoint, or you have access to other users' shopping carts, the "Show All Shopping Carts" link appears in the "Shopping Cart" page.
If the "Show All Shopping Carts" link is clicked, a table summary of all shopping carts you have access to is shown. This includes shopping carts that have been funded already. The table summarizes the cart's ID, original owner, state, creation time, cost, and number of items.
Shopping Cart State Legend
Here is a legend of states that appear in the "Shopping Carts" page:
Not Funded - Editing
Funded - Executing
Funded - Success
Funded - Failure
Funded Shopping Cart Details
If a shopping cart has been funded, you can double-click the row representing the cart. The "Shopping Cart" page displays with the funded information. Notice that the "Payment Options" section does not appear.
Invalid Payment Options
There are certain cases where billing rules conflict with what you are trying to fund. One example is adding a reservation to a preexisting VPC. If the VPC was created and funded by "userA" with account "ABC001", and a reservation is added by "userB" who does not have access to account "ABC001", "userB" cannot fund the shopping cart. Notice that the "Payment Options" section is blank to show that the cart cannot be funded.
