+Sparky - VNFs
+==============
+
+*VNFs* Overview
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+*VNFs* is an aggregation-based view that provides aggregate counts of
+VNFs based off of provisioning status and orchestration status.
+
+*VNFs* Features
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+With VNFs UI, users can:
+   * Search for generic-vnfs by attribute value(s) specified in the search box using suggested search terms.
+   * View search results aggregated to display:
+      - A count of the total VNFs returned by the search
+      - A count of the VNFs for each prov-status values.
+   * Filter out data to reduce the amount of data displayed to the user. Users can  filter data based on:
+       - Orchestration status
+       - Provisioning status
+       - Network function type
+       - Network function role
+
+Navigation to *VNFs*
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+1. Main navigation menu
+2. Selecting a search result related to an aggregation result (e.g. and
+   VNFs)
+
+Using *VNFs*
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+*VNFs* is driven by using the search bar at the top of the UI to find
+and select aggregation queries. Once selected, the aggregation queries
+will be sent to the *Sparky* backend component for processing. When a
+result set has been determined *VNFs* will render the data - as below:
+
+Note: The OXM schema defines the services and resources archetypes and mappings to Java types that are used by A&AI to define the REST endpoints for reading and manipulating the inventory data. The OXM file has been annotated with suggestible attributes. Sparky communicates with Synapse (data-router) to update ElasticSearch as entities are created/updated and deleted.
