Conditions Based on the Attributes of Service Option Groups

You can specify conditions based on the following attributes of the service option group affected by the policy.

Use the following format (without spaces):

$(_.sog['sogname'].serviceoption[rownumber].attribute operator 'value')

Enclose string values in single quotation marks. Enter numeric values without quotation marks.

The service option group has the following attributes:

estimatedCost

Specifies the total estimated cost of a service option group in a service in a request. The Catalog system calculates this cost when the request is submitted.

Note: To find the cost of the service option group, click Home, Requests and, if applicable, use the My Requests drop-down list to display requests. Find the request that contains the service option group and view the details. Add the costs of all service options that belong to the service option group.

If necessary, you can verify the service options that belong to a specific service option group by clicking Catalog, Service Offerings, Option Groups. Review the details for the service option group.

Specifies the numeric value of the status of the service option group. The status of the service option group is the same as the status of the service (not the request). Valid values follow.

0 - Deleted

1 - Available

2 - Unavailable

3 - Created

4 - Canceled
