Example.
Click Add Behavior, and search for and select Virtual Waiting Room.
Click Insert Behavior. Refer to the following table to complete the fields.

Field	Action
Virtual Waiting Room Cloudlet Policy (required)	Select an existing Virtual Waiting Room policy to use with this behavior. The list contains only shared policies.
Domain	The domain for establishing a visitor session. Incoming Host Header (Automatic) for basic domain auto detection or Custom (Advanced Settings) for advanced configuration.
Cookie Domain Override	The advanced option to set a custom domain attribute for all session cookies. This option is available when Domain is set to Custom (Advanced Settings). Make sure this domain is correctly accepted by the user agent for any request matching with this behavior. When multiple property hostnames are configured, the cookie domain is the common domain. Do not use only the top level domains (TLDs) for the cookie domain. This option supports variable expression syntax. Typing {{ in the option field triggers variable autocomplete. To learn more about variable support, see CSH lookup.
Waiting Room
Path	The path to the waiting room main page on the Origin. For blocked requests when the Origin reaches its limit, the outgoing request path and cache key is rewritten to this path value as waiting room main page requests. The waiting room path is not visible to visitors. You can use match criteria to further customize the behaviors for Waiting Room Requests. This option supports variable expression syntax. Typing {{ in the option field triggers variable autocomplete. To learn more variable support, see CSH lookup.
Assets	Base path for waiting room assets such as; javascript, css files and images that are referenced in the waiting room HTML. e.g. /static/. Each path may contain an asterisk () for wildcards. Requests matching with any of these paths are not blocked, but marked as Waiting Room Assets requests and passed through to the Origin. You can use match criteria to further customize the behaviors for Waiting Room Assets.
Granting Access
Duration	Define how long access should be granted (in seconds) for inactive visitors at the origin. - If the duration expires and there are visitors in your waiting room, the visitor is sent to the end of the waiting room line. - If the duration expires and there are no visitors in your waiting room, the duration is reset and the visitor is allowed to stay on the origin. 0 through 86400 seconds Note: 24 hours (86400 seconds) is the maximum duration.
Auto Extend	Set to `On` if the access should be prolonged automatically when the visitor is active.
