The NSP service management function uses intent types to build service and tunnel templates, which are then used to create services and service tunnels. The library of product service models (intent types) is obtained from the artifacts section of the Nokia Support Portal. The models are contained in the NSP_Product_Service_Artifacts_<Rr>.zip file. An important readme file is also bundled with the models. These intent types can be imported into the NSP from the Artifacts views. Importing the artifact bundle also imports the models into service management. Users with the NSP programming suite can also create custom intent types within the NSP Network Intents views.

For more information about using the NSP Artifacts function and cloning intent types, see the NSP Network Automation Guide.

Note: Intent types must have the ServiceFulfillment label applied in order to be used by service management. Users should exercise caution when modifying or deleting any intent types with the ServiceFulfillment label.

Note: Once an intent type is used by service management, any change made to that template in one location - such as the NSP Network Intents views - will be propagated to the other.
