2. Select the replication mode: In the Intent Template for field, select what replication mode the intent template applies to. Intent templates are separated into two types based on replication logic definition: Device-based Replication and Path-based Replication. 
   
   • Device-based Replication: In this case, target devices are defined via dynamic search or device group/site.

   

   • Path-based Replication: In this case, the target devices are defined via command qualification. 
3. View Related ADT: The table node structure at the bottom of this tab displays the ADTs and column groups that the seed intents have been replicated.



From the Related Automation Data Table section, you can do the following:

• Clicking Edit on an entry of the table node will direct you to the Replicate Intent step to modify the columns.
• Click Open ADT to open the ADT in the Automation Data Table Manager.
