Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.

Search for | Example | Results |
---|---|---|
A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |

Component properties
Properties provide a base set of attributes that can be used and edited when creating components in a service design. They represent configuration settings to be applied to the component during service design provisioning. The value defined for a component property is the default value exposed in the service design.
Tasks
View the following information about component properties:
- Display Name - The display name of the property.
- Value - The default value for the property.
- Visible - This label displays if the property is visible to the designer. If this label does not display, the property is not visible to the designer.
- Supports Modify Lifecycle - This label displays if the property can be modified during the modify lifecycle transition phase.
Create a component property:
- You cannot create properties of a component that is an abstract component or a capability.
- Newly created properties do not affect existing service designs. You must manually update any design that uses the component by recreating the component in the design.
-
For components that are being used in a topology design, you can only add additional properties, and the new properties cannot be Required. You cannot modify existing properties, except to change the default values for Display Name, Description, and Default Value.
Click Create and enter the following information for a property:
Item | Description |
---|---|
Type |
|
Name | A unique name for the property. This value cannot be changed after the component is created. |
Display Name | The name that displays for the property. |
Description | The description that displays for the property. |
Resource Type and Unit for a Measurable Property |
Available for Integer properties only. Select a resource type and unit (other than None) to make this property measurable and to enable automatic accounting of resource usage in a provider's resource pool. |
Default Value | The default value exposed in the service design. |
Confidential Data | Select this box to mask the values so that they cannot be read in the user interface; no encryption of the value is performed. |
Consumer Visible | Use the check box to indicate if the property will be visible in the Marketplace Portal. |
Designer Visible | Use the check box to indicate if the property is visible in the topology design. |
Required | Use the check box to indicate if the property is required in the topology design. Required can only be selected for Designer Visible Properties |
