Getting Started
---------------

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   |              |
| produces a `CBA                              |              |
| Package <https://wik                         |              |
| i.onap.org/display/DW/Modeling+Concepts#Mode |              |
| lingConcepts-ControllerBlueprintArchive>`__. |              |
| Its **content** is driven from a **catalog** |              |
| of **reusable data dictionary** and          |              |
| **component**, delivering a reusable and     |              |
| simplified **self-service** experience.      |              |
|                                              |              |
| CDS modeling is mainly based on **the TOSCA  |              |
| standard**, using JSON as a representation.  |              |

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**

Description and other configurations

|image12|

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

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

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

|image18|

**Manage Mapping Section**
