Adding new fields

Context

When you create a VM, PM, or storage template, certain fields are required. You can modify some features of these fields, but you cannot remove the fields from the template. You can, however, add custom fields to your VM, PM, and storage templates. For information about custom field options and configurations, please see Fields: Catalog options.

To add a new field to your service template

  1. Go to the Service Template Management page (Catalog > Service Template Management).
  2. Go to the Resources tab for the service template you are creating/editing.

    3. You will not be able to access the Resources tab unless you have specified "Virtual machine," "Physical machine," or "storage" in the Template properties as the Template type (for details, see Fields: Template properties).

  3. Navigate to the bottom of the page, and click Add field under the "Catalog options" heading.

    4. A new field form appears.

  4. In the Field type field, specify the type of field you want to create. (By default, the Field type will be "Text.") For a list of the field types, see Fields: Catalog options.
  5. Complete the other fields, as necessary. For details, see Fields: Catalog options.
  6. To move a new field up or down in order, click the () buttons.
  7. If you need to remove a field, click Delete field.
  8. When you are finished adding fields, go to the Summary tab. Do one of the following:
    • If you want to preview the form with your new fields, click Preview form.
    • If you are satisfied with your template, click Save template.
