Global Values

Create collections of global values to allow admins to define custom drop-downs for the Create form.

Global Values allow admins to define custom drop-downs for customizing terraform infrastructure resource properties before they are provisioned.

Collections of Global Values

You can create and update various collections of Global Values and apply them to your Blueprint(s).

After publishing a collection, the global values will become read-only to avoid breaking existing references to Blueprints.

Global Values Collections contain the following properties:

• Key: Unique key used to reference the collection

• Type: The type of data the collection will store. The following data types can be used:

  • Text

  • Number

  • List

  • Object

• Name: Name of the collection

• Description: Description of the collection

Once a collection has been created, you can add values with the following properties:

• Key: Unique key used to reference the option within the collection.

• Label: Label shown to developers in the dropdown field of the pull-request form.

• Value: Value to be applied to the generated Terraform.

• Description: Description of the option.

Once Global Values have been created, they can be applied when creating a resource provision request from a Blueprint.
