+Control loop in Policy/CLAMP
+----------------------------
+There are 2 control loop levels in Policy/CLAMP:
+
+- Control loop template: This is created from the DCAE blueprint (designed in the DCAE designer), and distributed by SDC to CLAMP.
+- Control loop instance: Based on the template, it represents a physical control loop in the platform related to a service and a VNF.
+
+There is no way to design the microservice components of the control loop from scratch in CLAMP, you can only configure it and manage its life-cycle.
+For more info on how to design the service in SDC, check this: https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/CLAMP+videos#CLAMPvideos-DesignpartinSDC
+
+
+There is a specific menu to view the available Control loop templates.
+
+|clamp-template-menu|
+
+
+Each microservice policies and operational policies is related to a Policy Model.
+Clamp either communicates with Policy Engine periodically to download the available Policy Models automatically or user can upload the Policy Model manually.
+Policy Models related operations could be found under Policy Models menu.
+
+|clamp-policy-model-menu|
+
+
+Under the menu *Loop Instance*, there's a list of actions to perform regarding to the loops.
+
+|clamp-loop-menu|
+
+
+Option *Create* creates the loop from the templates distributed by SDC.
+
+|clamp-create-loop|
+
+
+Option *Open* opens the saved loops. Once the distributed control loop has been chosen, the control loop is shown to the user.
+
+|clamp-open-loop|
+
+
+Option *Close* will close the current opened loop.
+
+
+Option *Modify* opens the window to add/remove different Operational Policies to the loop.
+Tab *Add Operational Policies* lists all the available operational policies.
+Click *Add* button to add the selected operational policies to the loop.
+
+|clamp-add-operational-policies|
+
+Tab *Remove Operational Policies* lists all the operational policies added to the loop.
+Click *Remove* button to remove the selected operational policies from the loop.
+
+|clamp-remove-operational-policies|
+
+
+Once opened, the user can start configure empty control loop using **Closed loop modeller**.
+
+|clamp-opened-loop|
+
+
+Loop modeler has 3 main parts:
+
+#. Loop configuration view
+ Visualizes event flow in Control Loop. This view is auto-generated by Clamp. To generate it Clamp parses DCAE_INVENTORY_BLUEPRINT from CSAR distributed by SDC.
+ It Always consists of **VES -> <nodes from blueprint> -> OperationalPolicy**. Not all nodes are visualized. Only those with type **dcae.nodes.\***
+ |blueprint-node|
+
+#. Loop status
+ Visualizes status of opened loop.
+#. Loop logs
+ Table with log data of opened loop
+
+
+Control Loop properties
+-----------------------
+In Dublin release this view shows what are deployment parameters or control Loop.
+To open it from *Loop Instance* menu select *Properties*
+
+|clamp-menu-prop|
+
+This opens a box with JSON object. It contains deployment parameters extracted from DCAE_INVENTORY_BLUEPRINT.
+It's not recommended to edit this JSON. Each of this parameters should be available in view shown to deploy analytic application.
+
+|clamp-prop-box|
+
+
+Operational policy properties
+---------------------------------------
+Operational policies are added by the user using *Modify* window. The configuration view is generated using Policy Type assigned to selected operational policy.
+
+To configure operational policies, user has to click the corresponding operational policy boxes. Example popup dialog for operational policy looks like:
+
+|clamp-op-policy-box-policy|
+
+Operations and payload for CDS actor is fetched from CDS.
+Clamp receives CDS blueprint name and version information from sdnc_model_name and sdnc_model_version properties in CSAR distributed by SDC and queries CDS to get list of operations and payload for the corresponding CDS blueprint.
+
+|clamp-cds-operation|
+
+Micro-service policy properties
+-------------------------------
+Boxes between `VES` and `Operational Policies` are generated from blueprint. They can be one of ONAP predefined analytic microservices or custom analytics.
+Each of the boxes is clickable. Microservice configuration view is generated using Policy Type assigned to selected microservice.
+Clamp by default assumes that microservices have policy type **onap.policies.monitoring.cdap.tca.hi.lo.app**.
+
+After clicking microservice box Clamp opens popup dialog. Example popup dialog for microservice with default type looks like:
+
+|clamp-config-policy-tca|
+
+
+
+In the *Loop Operations* menu, lists the operations to be perform to the loop.
+
+|clamp-loop-operation-menu|
+
+
+Submitting the Control loop to core policy
+------------------------------------------
+The SUBMIT operation can be used to send the configuration to policy engine.
+If everything is successful, the status to the policy will become *SENT*. Clamp should also show proper logs in logs view.
+
+|clamp-policy-submitted|
+
+After Policies are submitted they should be visible in Policy PAP component.
+Please check `Policy GUI <https://docs.onap.org/en/dublin/submodules/policy/engine.git/docs/platform/policygui.html>`_
+
+
+Deploy/undeploy the Control Loop to DCAE
+-----------------------------------------
+Once sent to policy engine, Clamp can ask to DCAE to DEPLOY the micro service
+
+This opens a window where the parameters of the DCAE micro service can be configured/tuned.
+The policy_id is automatically generated by Clamp in the previous steps.
+
+|clamp-deploy-params|
+
+Once deployed on DCAE the status of DCAE goes to *MICROSERVICE_INSTALLED_SUCCESSFULLY*, it can then be Undeployed/Stopped/Restart.
