Define Follow-up Network Intents

Complete the following steps to define a follow-up NI.

1. On the Define Diagnosis tab, click Add Action and select Follow-up Intent to add a follow-up intent node.
   
   
2. You can add follow-up intent by the following methods:

• Intent Template: Select one or more NIT from NIT Manager to associate.
• Current Intent (Self): Call itself to be the follow-up intent template.
  
• Intent via ADT: Automation Data Table (ADT) can reference multiple automation intent columns for each automation asset, and users can use intents (e.g., path intents) in ADT as follow-up diagnosis.
• Intent Template via ADT: Used to dynamically obtain NIT as follow-up NIT from the predefined ADT (intent template group) based on the matching conditions. 
• Intent Cluster: Select one or more NI clusters and set the conditions for matching member NIs.
  • NIC Name (for example, 3-Replicate Device and Its Neighbors): Enter the description for this follow-up intent.
  • Match Member Network Intents: Set the conditions to match the member NI to be executed next.
  • Message for Diagnosis Tree (Post-Execution): Enter some guiding suggestions, like what to do next.​
• Select Intent (Standalone): Select one or more NIs from NI Manager to associate.
  

3. Define more information for follow-up intents.
   
   

• Define the Description to explain when this intent is executed and when this intent is not executed for the follow-up intent.
• Define the Annotation for Diagnosis Tree to explain the situation corresponding to the intent execution. These messages will be displayed in the link of the diagnosis tree.
