How to use BYOQ

  1. On the BYOQ page click in the dsl query input box and start creating a query

Typeahead will help with creating connections or filters as the query is being typed out (it can be configured off)

In this case I started from a generic-vnf with a specific filter and selected a few elements directly connected to it and ran the query

The results can be seen below in card format
