User interface elements are described below (unlabeled elements are shown in angle brackets):

UI Element	Description
Import	Opens the Import Service dialog box for importing WSDLs from a file system. For details, see Import Service dialog box.
Delete	Removes the selected service from the list.
Compare	Opens the WSDL Comparison Report showing the Working copy and Original copy of the WSDL side-by-side. To set the comparison settings, see XML/WSDL Comparison dialog box.
WS-I Validation	Opens the WS-I Validation report to check the WSDL's compliance with WS-I, for the selected services.
View WSDL	Displays the WSDL in a browser.
<WSDL list>	A list of the imported WSDLs.
Description tab	Provides information about the WSDL, its endpoint address, toolkit, and update information.
Operations tab	Lists the operations of the service: Operation Name, PortName, and Used in Script (Yes or No).
Connection Settings tab	In some cases WSDLs reside on secure sites requiring authentication. In certain instances, the WSDL is accessed through a proxy server. VuGen supports the importing of WSDLs using security and WSDLs accessed through proxy servers. The following security and authentication methods are supported: SSL Basic and NTLM authentication Kerberos (for the WCF and the .NET toolkits) For more information about setting the connection information while importing the WSDL, see Add and manage services. Note: This only applies for URL and UDDI type imports.
UDDI Data tab	The UDDI server, UDDI version, and service key. You can view the details of the UDDI server for each service that you imported from a UDDI registry. The read-only information indicates the URL of the UDDI server, the UDDI version, and the Service key.
Protocol and Security tab	Allows you to view and set a security scenario for your Web Service calls and shows the details of the security scenario applied to the script. If you did not choose a scenario, it uses the default <no scenario>.

Description tab

UI Element	Description
Update Now	Loads the latest version of the WSDL from its original location.
Created By	The name with which you logged in. You can edit this field and specify a different name. This is useful for sorting the services in reports (read-only).
Description	An editable field into which you can type information about the service.
Last update from original	The last date and time the WSDL was updated (read-only). You can update the version manually or retrieve it automatically each time you reopen the test.
Original Location	The original location from where the WSDL was imported (read-only).
Override address	Enables you to enter an alternate endpoint for the service in the Service Address box.
Service Address	The endpoint of the service to which service requests are sent, retrieved from the WSDL file (read only). To override the default address, select Override address.
Service Name	The native service name in the WSDL file that is displayed by default when importing the service (read-only).
Toolkit	The toolkit associated with the service. This is set this when you import the service (read-only). By default, VuGen uses the WCF toolkit (WCF/.NET Framework) for all new Web Services scripts.
Update when opening script	Updates the WSDL from its source each time you open the script.

Connection Settings tab

UI Element	Description
Authentication	Use Authentication Setting: Enables you to enter authentication credentials to use for retrieving the WSDL. Tip: For users not in the default domain, type the domain name before the user name. For example, `domain1/alex_qc`.

You can define an alternative proxy (for example, if access fails with the default settings). Server. Name or IP address of proxy server. Port. Port through which to access the WSDL. Username, Password. The user name and password to be used for authentication. For users not in the default domain, type the domain name before the user name. For example, `domain1/alex_qc`.
