   Table 1 Parameters included in basic solution information

   Parameter	Description
   Solution Type	Reference architectures: include PPT solutions, 0-1 incubation, and product portfolios that cannot be replicated. Replicability or deliverability is not promised. Problem handling suggestions are provided based on reference architectures. Only product technical support is provided. Delivery verification is required in customer projects (Huawei and partners are responsible for delivery separately). Huawei Lead: As the solution owner, Huawei takes the lead in industry scenario and partner selection, initiates a solution, designs and verifies the solution jointly with partners, outputs solution offerings, and specifies the GTM path, customer development strategy, contract signing path, delivery strategy, and O&M strategy. Huawei is responsible for solution competitiveness and business success. Partner Lead: A partner who meets the partner-led solution review requirements is the solution owner. The partner takes the lead in solution initiation, designs and verifies the solution jointly with Huawei, outputs solution offerings, and specifies the GTM path, customer development strategy, contract signing path, delivery strategy, and O&M strategy. Huawei PDM and PSA assist partners in ensuring the competitiveness and business success of the solution. Joint operations products: products that are jointly operated by Huawei Cloud and partners. There are preset reliability requirements and reliability checks for joint products. Developer application building: a joint solution building program for technical partners. It strengthens technical enablement and support for partners during solution and service construction and migration, provides technical capability certification, and provides marketing and business support for certified solutions and services. Advanced cloud software: Advanced cloud software certification is to verify that partners' products and software have been reconstructed and optimized using advanced Huawei Cloud technologies and can jointly create more value for customers. POC: design and verification before project implementation. Development & Migration incentives: competitive software products and solutions in the sector or industry. This product or solution is critical for enhancing Huawei Cloud capabilities or developing in corresponding industries or customers. After strict process evaluation, the PDM applies for this product or solution for partners. Custom verification: The entire process pipeline of solution building and solution verification supports customized skipping of certain phases. Other: solutions beyond the above categories. NOTE: HaydnCSF has been interconnected with the Seller Center. Joint operations products are created, qualified, and selected in the Seller Center, and synchronized to HaydnCSF for verification. If you have completed the creation and review of a joint operations product in the Seller Center, HaydnCSF will automatically create a joint operations product verification workspace and a solution in your account, and synchronize the verification report to the Seller Center after the verification is successful. If you need to manually create a joint operations product solution, confirm with your ecosystem manager or Huawei certification test engineer who supports the solution. Otherwise, the certification test report of the product cannot be synchronized to the Seller Center.
   Application Service Mode	This option is available only for joint operations products and partner-lead solutions. It indicates the service mode of the product. In subsequent solution design, the HaydnCSF platform will perform reliability check based on different reliability levels in SaaS and license service modes.
   Reliability Level	This option is available only for the SaaS and license service modes of joint operations products and partner-lead solutions. It indicates the reliability level of the solution architecture.
   Select Process	The process is related to the solution type. For example, if you select Joint operations products, the certification test processes related to the joint operations products are displayed here. HaydnCSF presets standard processes for baseline building and certification test. You can also skip specified phases based on your requirements. You need to set the solution designer and solution reviewer. Related owners will receive a to-do notification. If the specified owner is not found, check whether the user is in the workspace and has the architect role. If the user is not in the workspace, add the user and set the architect role by referring to Adding a Member.
   Associate CSBI	To associate solutions with CSBI, the baseline solution must be initiated and associated here. This is optional for other types of solutions. If the initiation is not completed, the association can be completed through the solution change function after the initiation is completed.
   Solution Name	Enter a solution name, for example, Smart Device Industry Solution. For joint operations products, enter the product name as the solution name.
   Applicable Industries	Select the industries to which the solution applies.
   Deployment Environments	Set this parameter based on the base type used in the solution. Multiple base types can be selected.
   Solution Version	(Optional) Enter the solution version.

3. Describe the solution.

   In the Solution Description area, enter solution information so that related owners can learn about the solution details. The cover and related attachments can be uploaded.

4. Click Save to save the solution as a draft. In this phase, you can edit the solution and submit it for design at any time.
