Infrastructure item type extended configuration

Certain infrastructure item types require extended configuration to further define connection information.

If the type of infrastructure item chosen requires extended configuration, click the Edit configuration... link in the Identification section to open the corresponding Extended Configuration editor.

Note

Like any property defined in an entity, the fields in any extended configuration editor can be referenced by Substitution variables to reuse the details in the deployment process diagram.
