Auto-Provision into Designated Workspace

thahab

We use Control Center to provision projects and would like to take advantage of auto-provisioning; however, we would like to have projects provision to a Workspace that is based on specific criteria. It would be simple enough to have a column in the Intake Sheet that defines which workspace but I don't see an option to reference a column to identify the Workspace in the Blueprint setup. Is there a way to make this happen?

Yes. You would include a dropdown column to select the designator and add it in to the blueprint. You would then duplicate the blueprint and only change the designator/workspace. You would leave the summary sheet/intake sheet/etc. all the same.

You would have to have separate Control Center Blueprints set up for each of the workspaces.

Could you still have everything roll up on the same roll up tables with separate blueprints?

Yes. You would include a dropdown column to select the designator and add it in to the blueprint. You would then duplicate the blueprint and only change the designator/workspace. You would leave the summary sheet/intake sheet/etc. all the same.

How does each blueprint know when they should be the one which auto provisions? There is no way that I see to indicate that in the automation set up. Also, if I have an established blueprint that has already provisioned many projects...is this something I can set up now or do I need to start over with everything?

You would change the Approval Column in the intake sheet to be the dropdown. Then in the CC Blueprint you would select which the appropriate approval value.

Lets say you have Workspace A and Workspace B.

Set up your first blueprint to go to Workspace A when provisioned. When you get to the Intake Settings you would make sure the dropdown is the "Approval Column" and the "Approval Value" is "A".

Then you would duplicate this Blueprint. In the new one, you change the workspace over to "Workspace B" and then in the Intake Settings you change the "Approval Value" to "B".

Finally you will need to set up the auto-provisioning for both blueprints separately. So you would have a Control Center automation for Blueprint A and a second one for Blueprint B.

Brilliant. Thank you so much!

OK new but related question - if I have a multi-tier blueprint set up... so we have parent - child relationships... could I still approach it as you suggest?
