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

1. Open a NI and click Edit to enter the Edit Mode.
   
2. Hover over the CLI Command Diagnosis and click the pencil icon.
3. Select the Follow-up Network Intents checkbox to enable it, and then click Add Network Intent.
   
   

Define Follow-up Intent from the drop-down list in two ways:

• Select Common Intent: Select one or more NIs from NI Manager to associate.
• Select Child Intent: Select a Child Network Intent from the Intent Family, but the current NI and its parent NI cannot be selected.
  

  Note: When the home NI is used as seed NI of specified NIC, only child Intents can be replicated together, and common Intents cannot be replicated.

• Select 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.
    

4. Define more information for Follow-up Intents
   

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