This question relates to VRA 7 and embedding software components in blueprints.
I have a feeling I am missing something really simple, but I can't seem to find a straight forward way of allowing the user to easily select which software components they wish to install during the request. The best we could come up with is providing a Boolean drop down menu for true or false on each individual software component. Inside each software component code there is a condition to check if the the user chose true or false before installing the software:
Previously, in vRA 6, we were using the install software feature and where able to get the software selected easily from a single request page using the property layout feature:
I could not find any options for a check box in the software component properties, and I can't find the property layout options in vRA7. Am I missing something? I would appreciate any advice on how I could make the selection of software components more user friendly. Ideally I would like know if I can include custom properties on the machine request page to provide a list of checkboxes for each software component that would get passed down to the software component properties.
Thank you,
