Create subscriber option properties

Note The Subscriber Options tab is read-only if the service design is published.

You can create properties on subscriber options within an option set. The option property can then be copied to the other options in the option set using the Copy Property to All Options icon.

You cannot copy a property to all options in an option set when the Enable Multi-Select setting for that option set is selected.

Property Details

For Boolean properties:

  • Service Offering and Marketplace Portal Settings:

    • Editable - Indicates that this property can be made editable in the Offerings area and in the Marketplace Portal

  • Default Value - Select true or false

    Note Boolean properties are always required, which means that when a subscription is ordered, a value must be provided for this field. This option cannot be changed for Boolean properties.

For Integer properties:

  • Service Offering and Marketplace Portal Settings

    • Editable - Select to make this field editable in the Offerings area and in the Marketplace Portal
    • Required - Integer properties are always required, which means that when a subscription is ordered, a value must be provided for this field.
    • Value Range - If Editable is checked, configure a minimum and maximum allowed value for the property.
    • Default Value - Select or type a positive or negative whole number or zero. If you enter a decimal number, the value will be truncated to the nearest integer. The maximum allowed integer value is 2147483647 and the minimum is -2147483648; if you enter a value outside these bounds the value will be automatically converted to the closest maximum or minimum value.

For List properties:

  • Service Offering and Marketplace Portal Settings:

    • Editable - Indicates that this property can be made editable in the Offerings area and in the Marketplace Portal. Dynamic entry properties are always editable; this field cannot be changed for dynamic entry properties.
    • Required - Select to indicate that when a subscription is ordered, a value must be provided for this field.

  • List Selection Type:

    • Single-Select - Select to present options as radio boxes in the Marketplace Portal.
    • Multi-Select - Select to present options as check boxes in the Marketplace Portal.

  • List Items:

    • Switch to Static Entry (default) - Enter the name and value for an entry in the list. After the value entry, a new item line is displayed automatically.

    • Switch to Dynamic Entry - Select a script name and specify the HTTP parameter names and token values.

      • Validation Script - Both dynamic property and semantic validation are implemented as drop down list with script names and (none) value. There are manage scripts and configure parameters links with respective functionality.

        Note Manage Scripts displays only scripts for dynamic properties.
        Script parameters are similar to dynamic properties and new Tokens are defined CURRENT_ VALUE (current running subscription value of property and not currently edited request).

      • Manage Scripts - Click to manage JavaScript files that can be used to provide values for the dynamic list properties. See Script Management.

      • HTTP Parameters - Specify the HTTP parameters to use when executing the script. The required input parameters are dependent on the script that has been selected; contact the script developer if necessary to determine the necessary input parameters.

        • Parameter Name - For each Parameter Name you enter, supply a Parameter Value, which can be a token or a constant value.

          Note The script is invoked at subscription ordering or modification time by the user csaReportingUser, who has read-only access to CSA. For more information on this user, see the Cloud Service Automation Configuration Guide.

        • Select Token - Click the Select Token icon () to enter a token. See Tokens.
      • Refresh Data - Click the Refresh Data icon ( ) to run the script and display the results.

For String properties:

  • Service Offering and Marketplace Portal Settings:

    • Editable - Select to make this field editable in the Offerings area and in the Marketplace Portal.
    • Required – Select to indicate that when a subscription is ordered, a value must be provided for this field.

  • Input Type:

    • Single-Line - The input area is presented as and accepts only one line of text.

    • Multi-Line - The input area is presented as a text box and can accept one or more lines of content.

    • Number of Characters - Configure the minimum and maximum number of characters that can be entered for this property. These fields are available only when the Editable and Single-Line options are selected.

    • Input Restriction - Choose an Input Restriction from the following list. These fields are available only when the Editable and Single-Line options are selected.

      • (none) - No input restriction will be performed. A minimum and maximum length can still be configured.
      • Custom Regular Expression - Validates the value based on a regular expression, as specified in the Regular Expression text box.
      • Email Address - Checks that a valid email format is entered.
      • IPV4 Address - Checks that a valid IPV4 address is entered.
      • IPV6 Address - Checks that a valid IPV6 address is entered.
      • Non-Numeric Characters - Checks that no numeric characters are entered.
      • URL Address - Checks that a valid URL format is entered. The regular expression used for validating the URL values may allow creating some invalid URL values such as http, http:/, http:// or hhh:////. This is because the regular expression validates a wide range of official IANA-registered schemes, which may not detect some invalid URL values.

    • Input Validation - Provides an additional level of control to ensure the user values will work properly during provisioning. These fields are available only when the Editable option is selected.

      Semantic validation is enabled in Marketplace Portal and Operations Console for public actions.

      Input Validation component has the following options:

      • (none): This is the default value versus the checkbox. If none is selected, semantic validation is disabled.
      • Drop-down list: Lists the input validation scripts available.
      • Manage Scripts option: To add new scripts/remove scripts.
      • Configure Parameters option: This appears once a validation script is selected. This configures the script parameters that should be used when executing the specified validation.

      • Validation: Enter a value to perform validation against the specified validation script and click the Validate button to view the validation results.

    • Default Value - Type a string of characters.
    • Confidential - Select this box to mask the values so that they cannot be read in the user interface; no encryption of the value is performed. Note that this field is available only when the Single-Line option is selected.
