Virtual Network Function Records Portlet
Use the Virtual Network Function Records portlet (Figure 18-31) to maintain a list of virtualized
network function (VNF) records.
From the Virtual Network Function Records portlet, operators stage, deploy, and undeploy network
services. A network designer would use this portlet to test a new or modified descriptor.
The Virtual Network Function Records portlet also provides a maximized view that includes
additional filtering and the ability to export the table to a portable document format (PDF), Excel
format, or CSV format.
Both views have the same
pop-up menu options and by default the same columns . See Expanded
Portlet
on page 130 for a description of its standard options provided.
