Intent Replication Wizard
Practicing functions in PDAS may involve multiple steps across various features, which can make the setup process challenging, particularly for entry-level users. This process requires completing several steps, navigating through different function managers, and understanding various concepts.
To simplify the workflow of replicating Intents to ADTs for problem diagnosis and preventive automation, the Intent Replication Wizard is introduced.
It consolidates multiple steps in to a sigle, unified interface, reducing the effort required. Power users can perform the main operations independently through this streamlined UI.
Each step of the Intent Replication Wizard aims to:
- Seed Intent: Select the seed intent for intent replication and choose the applicable replication mode.
- Define ADT: Create a new ADT or select an existing ADT and then utilize it to accomplish the replication of the seed intent.
- Replication Settings: Define the qualified device scope for the seed intent template to replicate intent and configure the macro variable values for replicating ADT intents. Also, other advanced replication settings can be made here.
-
Replicate Intent: Select data fields that will be outputted as columns in the column group, then define the display name or assign tags for each column to finish building or updating the ADT.

Tip: After finishing each step, the information about the Selection Mode will be shown at the bottom to record the completed main steps. |
