+
+Create a VF
+-----------
+
+**Prerequisites:**
+
+- Create a license for each VF (see Create a license model) (see also the
+  tutorial Creating a Licensing Model)
+- Create a Vendor Software Product.
+
+**Steps**
+
+#. From the SDC HOME page, click the *Vendor Software Component* icon in the
+   header (upper right).
+
+   |image2|
+
+#. From the Import VF box, expand a VSP name and click the *Import VSP* icon.
+
+   |image3|
+
+#. In the General section, complete all fields.
+
+   .. note:: Use the letters "VF" in the name to indicate that the component is a VF.
+
+#. Click *Create*.
+
+   - A message displays while VF creation is in progress. (This can take up to
+     10 minutes.)
+   - A message displays when VF creation is complete.
+
+#. Click *Check In* to save changes.
+
+   - A box displays for confirming the changes.
+
+#. Enter a comment and click *OK*.
+
+   - A message displays when the VF is checked in.
+
+#. [Optional]  At any time before submitting the VF for testing, click these
+   options to update VF information:
+
+   .. note:: These tasks can be done only before submitting the VF for testing.
+
+   - Icon — change the icon associated with the VF (vendor-supplied icons are
+     preferred)
+   - Deployment Artifacts — download, view, modify, or change VF deployment
+     artifacts (for example, the contents of the Heat .zip file, which contains
+     the Heat volume template, the VF license, etc.)
+   - Information Artifacts — view or upload artifacts, such as test scripts, test
+     results, or the AIC questionnaire
+   - TOSCA Artifacts — view or upload the TOSCA model or the TOSCA template
+   - Properties — define or update VF properties (not used in Release 1)
+   - Composition — view or edit the graphical representation of the resource-level
+     TOSCA model (generated from the Heat template)
+   - Activity Log — view activity related to assets associated with the VF
+     (displays the action, date, user, status, and any comments related to each
+     action)
+   - Deployment — view VF modules defined in the Heat template
+   - Inputs — view inputs defined for the resource-level TOSCA model
+
+#. After creating a VF, submit it for testing (see `Submit a VF for testing`_).
+
+Update a VF [optional]
+----------------------
+
+- Update the VSP and other artifacts in a VF.
+- Upload a new version the VSP to the VF whenever the VSP is updated (see steps
+  3 to 5). Other reasons for updating a VF include:
+
+  - artifact changes at the VF level that need be uploaded, for example,
+    changes to ENV values (see step 6)
+
+**Prerequisites:**
+
+- `Create a VF`_.
+- If the VSP was updated: Update a VSP [optional]
+
+**Steps**
+
+#. From the SDC HOME page, click *CATALOG* and search for a VF.
+
+#. In the General section, click *Check Out*.
+   The Select VSP field is displays.

+
+#. Click *Information Artifact* and edit, upload, or delete associated
+   [Optional] information artifacts.
+
+#. Click *Check In* to save changes.
+
+#. After updating the VF:

+   - Update the VF version in any service that contains the VF
+     (see step 4 in Update a service [optional]).

+   site with the *Tester* role and send the email.
