# Populate the datacenter in Terraform-based catalog items

In any request for a catalog item using Terraform templates, the
required Location value specifies the datacenter or region where to provision the
configuration items and stacks. You can use a variable named region in
the Terraform template to map to the Location field on the request
form.

## Vorbereitungen

Role required: cloud_designer

## Prozedur

In the template file that is the basis for the catalog item, define a variable named region.  

    variable "region" {
                     type="string"
                   }

* The field defined for the region variable does not appear on the Provision section of the request form for the catalog item (the Location field serves that purpose).
* The value that the user specifies for the Location field on the request form configures the datacenter or region for the resource.
