Products and Services catalog

Top-level layout​

  • Page title and short description: explains what the catalog contains.
  • Service highlights (icons/list): quick visual list of major service categories (Virtual Network Edge, Networking, Cloud connectivity).
  • Main content area is organized by service family tabs, quick-access shortcuts, and service model cards.

Main sections and controls​

Service family tabs​

  • Purpose: select the family/category of services you want to explore.
  • How to use: click the tab label to switch families; the active tab shows its family details and available models.

Family header (e.g., "Virtual network edge")​

  • Shows family name and a small badge with the number of services/models in that family (example: "12 services").
  • Short family summary text describes the family purpose.
  • "Learn more" link: opens additional documentation : https://documentation.evolutionplatform.orange-business.com/
  • Family-specific action button (example: "VNE Inventory"): opens the inventory or list view for that family

Quick access shortcuts​

  • Shown as pill buttons (example: Cloud Connector, Firewall, Router, SDWAN Gateway).
  • Purpose: fast filters/shortcuts to commonly-used subcategories or specific model sets within the family.
  • How to use: click a pill to filter the displayed models to that subcategory.

Model count and grouping (e.g., "Cloud Connector — 2 models")​

  • Each sub-section or capability group within the family lists the number of models available.
  • This heading precedes the model cards for that sub-section.

Service model cards​

  • Each model is represented by a card containing:
    • Model name and vendor (example: Aviatrix - Edge Gateway, Zscaler - Zpa).
    • Vendor logo.
    • Action area with two primary actions:
      • "See details": opens either the documentation page or a side panel to view descriptions and configuration options.
      • "Subscribe": starts the subscription and provisioning workflow for that model.
  • How to use:
    • Click "See details" to review supported regions, prerequisites, SLA, documentation, and parameters you will need.
    • Click "Subscribe" to start ordering/provisioning.

Inventory button​

  • Click the family-specific inventory button (e.g., "VNE Inventory") to open the family inventory — lists instances already deployed or designed

Common tasks and workflows​

1. Browse a service family​

  • Click the family tab (e.g., Virtual Network Edge).

2. Filter to a subcategory quickly​

  • Use Quick access pill buttons (e.g., Firewall or Cloud Connector) to limit shown models to that subcategory.

3. Inspect a service/model​

  • Click the model card’s "See details" to view full documentation, technical specs, supported locations, and prerequisites.

4. Subscribe to a model​

  • After reviewing details, click "Subscribe" on a model card.
  • Follow the subscription journey to provide required parameters, choose deployment options, and confirm provisioning.
  • Click the family-specific inventory button (e.g., "VNE Inventory") to open the family inventory — lists instances already subscribed or deployed.

Interpreting counts and labels​

  • Family badge (e.g., "12 services") shows how many services/models are available in that family.
  • Subsection badges (e.g., "2 models") show how many models exist in that capability group.
  • Counts update to reflect catalog contents and might be scoped by permissions — you may see fewer items if you lack access.

Tips & best practices​

  • Start with "See details" before subscribing to check prerequisites
  • Use Quick access to reduce the list to the most relevant models and speed discovery.
  • If you plan to deploy widely, check whether the model supports the regions and cloud providers you need.

Troubleshooting & common questions​

I don’t see a model I expect​

  • Ensure you’re in the correct family tab.
  • Check quick-access filters are not active.
  • Verify your role and permissions; some models may be hidden by RBAC.
  • Ask your Orange Business Representative

Counts or content seem out of date​

  • Refresh the page.
  • If stale data persists, check platform status or contact platform support.

FAQ (short)​

  • Q: Where does "See details" lead? A: To a model detail page that lists technical specs, prerequisites, configuration parameters, and documentation.
  • Q: What’s the difference between "Subscribe" and "See details"? A: "See details" is informational. "Subscribe" starts the ordering/provisioning workflow to create a deployed instance.
  • Q: How do I find an already deployed instance? A: Use the family inventory button (e.g., "VNE Inventory") or go to the platform’s overall inventory/dashboard.
