14 **How to Get Started with CDS Designer UI**
16 If you’re new to CDS Designer UI and need to get set up, the following guides may be helpful:
18 - :ref:`running_cds_ui_locally`
22 This is your CDS Designer UI guide. No matter how experienced you are or what you want to achieve,
23 it should cover everything you need to know — from navigating the interface to making the most of different features.
25 What is CDS Designer UI?
26 ------------------------
27 +----------------------------------------------+--------------+
28 | CDS Designer UI is a framework to automate | |
29 | the **resolution of resources** for | |image1| |
30 | **instantiation** and any **config** | |
31 | provisioning operation, such as day0, day1, | |
32 | or day2 configuration. | |
35 | CDS has both **design-time** and | |
36 | **run-time** activities; during design time, | |
37 | **Designer** can **define** what **actions** | |
38 | are required for a given service, along with | |
39 | anything comprising the action. The design | |
40 | produces a :ref:`CBA Package <cba>` | |
43 | Its **content** is driven from a **catalog** | |
44 | of **reusable data dictionary** and | |
45 | **component**, delivering a reusable and | |
46 | simplified **self-service** experience. | |
48 | CDS modeling is mainly based on **the TOSCA | |
49 | standard**, using JSON as a representation. | |

97 5. **List Pagination:** navigate between package list pages
98 6. **Create Package:** Create a new CBA package
99 7. **Import Package:** Import other packages that are created previously on CDS Editor or Designer or created by other/current user
100 8. **Package box:** It shows a brief detail of the package and gives access to some actions of the package
101 9. **Deployed package indicator**
102 10. **Package name and version**
103 11. **More menu:** Access a list of actions including Clone, Archive, Download, and Delete
104 12. **Last modified:** Shows user name and date and time of last modifications made in the package
105 13. **Package Description**

108 16. **Configuration button:** Go directly to package configuration
109 17. **Designer Mode:** It indicates package mode (Designer, Scripting, and Generic scripting) and by clicking on it, it will load to mode screen
111 Create a New CBA Package
112 ------------------------
121 You can create a new CBA Package by creating a new custom package or by import a package file that is already created before.
124 **Create/Import Package**
125 You can’t create/import a CBA package that has the same name and version
126 of an existing package. Packages can be in the same name but in
127 different version numbers (ex., Package one v1.0.0 & Package one v1.0.1).
129 **Create a New Custom CBA Package**
130 From the Packages page, click on the **Create Package** button to navigate to **Package** **Configuration**
134 :ref:`MetaData <tosca_meta>`
135 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
137 In **MetaData Tab,** select Package Mode, enter package Name, Version,
138 Description and other configurations
142 Once you fill in all required inputs, you can save this package by clicking the **Save** button in the Actions menu
146 **Package Info Box:** It is in top of configurations tabs and it appears after you save a package for the first time
150 You can continue adding package configuration or go directly to the **Designer Mode** screen from Package info box
152 All changes will be saved when you click on the **Save** button
154 To close the package configuration and go back to the Package list, navigate to the top left in breadcrumb and click the **CBA Packages**
155 link or click on the **Packages** link in the Main menu.
157 :ref:`Template & Mapping <template>`
158 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
160 You can create as many templates using
162 artifact-mapping-resource (:ref:`artifact_type` -> Mapping)
164 artifact-template-velocity (:ref:`artifact_type` -> Velocity)
169 2. **Template Section:** Where you include template attributes
170 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.
176 1. **Template Type:** Template is defined by one of three templates (Velocity, Jinja, Kotlin)
177 2. **Import Template Attributes/Parameters:** You can add attributes by Import attribute list file or by
178 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
180 **Import Template Attributes**
184 After import attributes, you can add/edit/delete attributes in the code editor.
188 **Manage Mapping Section**
192 1. **Use current Template Instance:** You can use attributes from the Template section
193 2. **Upload Attributes List:** In case you don’t have existing attributes in Template section or have different attributes, you can upload the attributes list
195 Once you select the source of attributes, you get a confirmation of success fetching.
199 Then the Mapped Table appears to show the Resource Dictionary reference.
203 When you finish the creation process, you must click on **the Finish button (1)**
204 to submit the template, or you can clear all data by click on **the Clear button** **(2).**
208 :ref:`Scripts <scripts>`
209 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
211 *Allowed file type: Kotlin(kt), Python(py), Jython, Ansible*
213 To add script file/s, you have two options:
218 **Enter file URL:** Script file can be stored in server and you can add this script file by copy and paste file URL in URL input then
219 **press ENTER** key from the keyboard
223 **Create a Script File**
225 1. **File Name:** Add the script file name
226 2. **Script Type:** Choose script type (Kotlin, Jython, Ansible)
227 3. **Script Editor:** Enter the script file content
231 After you type the script, click on the **Create Script** button to save it
235 By adding script file/s, you can:
236 1. Edit file: You can edit each script file from the code editor
241 :ref:`Definitions <data_type>`
242 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
244 To define a data type that represents the **schema** of a specific type of **data**,
245 you have to **enrich** the package to automatically generate all definition files:
247 1. **Enrich Package:** from the package details box, click on the Enrich button
251 Once you successfully enrich the package, all definition files will be listed.
255 By definition file/s, you can Delete file
259 :ref:`External System Authentication Properties <external_system>`
260 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
261 In order to populate the system information within the package, you have to provide **dsl_definitions**
267 Here you can **manually** add your package:
269 1. :ref:`Workflow <workflow>` that define an overall action to be taken on the service
270 2. :ref:`Node/Component template <node_type>` that is used to represent a **functionality** along with its **contracts**, such as **inputs**, **outputs**, and **attributes**
