This is your CDS Designer UI guide. No matter how experienced you are or
what you want to achieve, it should cover everything you need to know —
from navigating the interface to making the most of different features.

What is CDS Designer UI?
========================

+----------------------------------------------+--------------+
| CDS Designer UI is a framework to automate   |              |
| the **resolution of resources** for          |    |image1|  |
| **instantiation** and any **config**         |              |
| provisioning operation, such as day0, day1,  |              |
| or day2 configuration.                       |              |
|                                              |              |
| CDS has both **design-time** and             |              |
| **run-time** activities; during design time, |              |
| **Designer** can **define** what **actions** |              |
| are required for a given service, along with |              |                                                                                                                
| anything comprising the action. The design   |              |

Create a New CBA Package
========================

-  .. rubric:: User Flow
      :name: user-flow

|image10|

-  .. rubric:: Create a New Package
      :name: create-a-new-package

You can create a new CBA Package by creating a new custom package or by
import package file that is already created before.

**Create/Import Package**

You can’t create/import a CBA package that has the same name and version
of an existing package. Packages can be in the same name but in
different version number (ex., Package one v1.0.0 & Package one v1.0.1).

**Create a New Custom CBA Package**

From the Packages page, click on the **Create Package** button to
navigate to **Package** **Configuration**

|image11|

-  .. rubric:: `MetaData <https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/Modeling+Concepts#Concepts-958933373>`__
      :name: metadata

In **MetaData Tab,** select Package Mode, enter package Name, Version,
Description and other configurations

|image12|

Once you fill all required inputs, you can save this package by click
**Save** button in the Actions menu

|image13|

**Package Info Box:** It is in top of configurations tabs and it appears
after you save a package for the first time

|image14|

You can continue adding package configuration or go directly to
**Designer Mode** screen from Package infobox

All changes will be saved when you click on **Save** button

To close the package configuration and go back to the Package list,
navigate to the top left in breadcrumb and click the **CBA Packages**
link or click on **Packages** link in the Main menu.

-  .. rubric:: `Template &
      Mapping <https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/Modeling+Concepts#Concepts--1256902502>`__
      :name: template-mapping

You can create as many templates using
`artifact-mapping-resource <https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/Modeling+Concepts#ModelingConcepts-artifact-mapping-resource>`__
or/and
`artifact-template-velocity. <https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/Modeling+Concepts#ModelingConcepts-artifact-template-velocity>`__

|image15|

1. **Template name**

2. **Template Section:** Where you include template attributes

3. **Manage Mapping:** Here the automapping process occurs to template
   attributes to refer to the data dictionary that will be used to
   resolve a particular resource.

**Template Section**

|image16|

1. **Template Type:** Template is defined by one of three templates
   (Velocity, Jinja, Kotlin)

2. **Import Template Attributes/Parameters:** You can add attributes by
   Import attribute list file or by

3. **Insert Template Attributes/Parameters Manually:** You can insert
   Attributes manually in the code editor. Code editor validates
   attributes according to the pre-selected template type

**Import Template Attributes**

|image17|

After import attributes, you can add/edit/delete attributes in the code
editor.

|image18|

**Manage Mapping Section**

|image19|

1. **Use current Template Instance:** You can use attributes from
   Template section

2. **Upload Attributes List:** In case you don’t have existing
   attributes in Template section or have different attributes, you can
   upload attributes list

Once you select the source of attributes, you get a confirmation of
success fetching.

|image20|

Then the Mapped Table appears to show the Resource Dictionary reference.

When you finish the creation process, you must click on **the Finish
button (1)** to submit the template, or you can clear all data by click
on **the Clear button** **(2).**
