One of the required parameters for the workflows in the vCAC61 folder is vCAC User. You must configure that parameter to be requested by a principal ID.

About this task

This procedure pertains only to the workflows that delegated administrators run. For the end-user self-service workflows in the vCAC61 folder, see Make vCAC61 Self-Service Workflows Use Specific Pools.

Workflows exposed through vCloud Automation Center can be customized using the vCloud Automation Center form editor interface. You can hide fields or rearrange them and add cosmetic improvements to fit into the organization service catalog. Add the blueprint for the specific workflow and customize as needed. You can convert any workflow field to a text box or provide values to display so that users can select from a drop-down list.
