Create a variable set for Cloud Provisioning and Governance

Reduce the number of steps required to create and manage multiple catalog items and order guides by creating variable sets. With variable sets, you don't have to create variables individually for each catalog item.

Pourquoi et quand exécuter cette tâche

Create a collection of structured variables that can be reused across multiple catalog items and order guides using variable sets.

A new variable set will be relevant to add when there are specific request form variables needed for running actions such as a post-provisioning action or for collecting additional information such as custom tags.

You can modify the variable set and the changes are reflected across all the catalog items that are associated with the variable set. Variable sets also allow you to define catalog client scripts and UI policies that are applicable to the variables in the set.

When you generate a catalog item, two variable sets, General Info and Provision, are automatically created. Create as many variable sets as needed.
