What’s New in VMware Aria (Previously vRA) the April Release (8.12.0)

 

Aria Automation 8.12

With the April 2023 Aria Automation launch, the Aria Automation Consumption Administrator, generally referred to as a Cloud Administrator can now work with more than one custom form for a particular released content instead of being limited only to one custom form prior to this release.

It also allows you to create, restore or delete versions of a particular request custom form for any of the supported catalog contents.

This will allow our customers now to create for example individual Custom Forms for different released versions of an Aria Automation Template, being one of the supported source content types, to accommodate new template changes as it gets updated over time or if you have to restore an older version of the custom form due to any issues found with a new modified custom form.

Each custom form whether its enabled or disabled created for a particular content can have its own number of versions history that can be restored at any time.
