This chapter provides information about how to get started to use Cisco Prime Fulfillment and gives a structural overview of this guide. It contains the following sections:

•System Recommendations

•Introduction

•Structural Overview

•Operate

•Inventory

•Service Design

•Traffic Engineering

•Diagnostics

System Recommendations

The system recommendations and requirements are listed in Chapter 1, "System Recommendations" of the Cisco Prime Fulfillment Installation Guide 6.1 and the Release Notes for Cisco Prime Fulfillment 6.1. The recommendation is to thoroughly review this list before even planning your installation, to be sure that you have all the hardware and software you must successfully install.

Introduction

Cisco Prime Fulfillment 6.1 is an evolution of Cisco IP Solution Center (ISC) that includes the powerful capabilities of that offering combined with significant enhancements to the user interface, to adding and updating devices and technologies, and to extending the powerful diagnostic workflows. The changes inPrime Fulfillment are listed in the Release Notes for Cisco Prime Fulfillment 6.1.

This guide lists many features that are common among multiple applications, which are sold and licensed separately. The applications and their respective User Guides reference this document for setup steps necessary before creating a policy and then a service request specific to the application and for other common features.

Before explaining the tabs in the Graphical User Interface (GUI), see the "Structural Overview" section. It explains elements common to many windows in Prime Fulfillment.

The GUI is separated into the following large sections (tabs):

•"Operate" section

•"Inventory" section

•"Service Design" section

•"Traffic Engineering" section

•"Diagnostics" section

•"Administration" section

The remaining sections in this chapter explain the sections and subsections of this guide that explain the functionality available from these tabs.

Note The terminology used in this guide and this product can be used interchangeably or preferably with other terms.

Structural Overview

After you log in to Cisco Prime Fulfillment, the first window to appear is the Home window, as shown in Figure 1-1, "Home Window."

Figure 1-1 Home Window

Note The tabs and the choices navigating within the tabs that appear depend on the user permission, explained in Chapter 70, "Manage Security"(Administration > Security > User Roles). The choices shown in this guide are for all permissions (admin).

There are two new charts available in the home screen, which provides a count of SR's in different states and list the SR's deployed for the past seven days:

•Pie chart—The pie chart provides an overall view of Service Requests in ISC with various states. If you click on any state in the pie chart it would redirect to the service manager screen with a list of all Service Requests on the selected state.

•Bar chart—The bar chart displays the last seven days Service requests added, modified, or deleted in Prime Fulfillment. If you click of the Bar, it would redirect to the service manager screen with a list of all Service Requests on the selected day.
