Update Existing Column Group
This section will introduce how to define the ADT and specify the ADT columns to update an existing column group in the domain.
Define the ADT and Specify ADT Columns to Update Existing Column Group Using Path-based Intent as Data Source
Prerequisites: The selected seed intent (for example, the intent "SD-WAN Path Control Plane Connectivity Check (Viptela vEdge)") is configured to be a path-based intent template.
- Select from the following two options to decide which ADT will be updated.
- Create a New ADT: When there is no suitable ADT, you can choose to create one, which will be automatically added to the Automation Data Table area. For the steps of creating an ADT in the Intent Replication Wizard, see Create New ADT in Intent Replication Wizard.
- Use an Existing ADT: In this example, the Use an Existing ADT option is selected to update an ADT in the domain.
- Select an ADT (for example, "Path Stability") from the pop-up Select Automation Data Table dialog, then click OK to close the dialog. Then the selected ADT will be added to the Automation Data Table area.

Note: When the seed intent in intended to do Path-based replication, it is required to select an existing ADT containing path column. Otherwise, an error message will appear. 
- In the Replicate Intent to area, select Existing Column Group, then select a column group (for example, "Path Device").

- In the Replicate on Path Column area, select the Path loaded from the column group or other path column to replicate intent using the path properties.

Define the ADT and Specify ADT Columns to Update Existing Column Group Using Device-based Intent as Data Source
Prerequisites: The selected seed intent (for example, the intent "ACL Config - Home") is configured to be a device-based intent template.

- Select from the following two options to decide which ADT will be updated.
- Create a New ADT: When there is no suitable ADT, you can choose to create one, which will automatically added to the Automation Data Table area. For the steps of creating an ADT in the Intent Replication Wizard, see Create New ADT in Intent Replication Wizard.
- Use an Existing ADT: In this example, the Use an Existing ADT option is selected to update an ADT in the domain.
- Select an ADT (for example, "Config Drift Check PROD") from the pop-up Select Automation Data Table dialog, then click OK to close the dialog. Then the selected ADT will be added to the Automation Data Table area.

Note: When the seed intent in intended to do device-based replication, it is required to select an existing ADT containing device column or device list column. Otherwise, an alert message will appear. 
- In the Replicate Intent to area, select Existing Column Group, then select a column group to be updated (all the column groups of the selected ADT are listed. in this example, we choose the column Detected Drift to update).

- In the Replicate on Device Column area, select the device column or device list column to replicate intent using the device properties in the selected column.

After finishing the settings in this tab, you can click the Next button to proceed to the Replication Settings step.
