A network inventory system enables communication service providers (CSPs) to create and maintain a complete and accurate digital representation of their physical and virtual networks, along with the telecom services provisioned on those networks. This trusted view allows network designers to model the network, manage service configurations, and understand customer service consumption.
When the network inventory is incomplete or inaccurate, it becomes impossible to design the network properly. A network inventory system supports precise network design and ongoing operations by integrating with other key systems, such as customer care and service assurance, to retrieve or update network inventory data as needed. This application unlocks advanced features from Telecommunications Network Inventory Pro.

This release delivers major enhancements to IP address management, improves data center design workflows, and includes security and usability fixes.
IP Address Management
- IP address creation against subnetworks — You can now create IP addresses directly against an IP subnetwork, with the ability to enable or disable this behavior as
needed.
- Allocated IP creation from subnets — Allocate and create IP addresses directly from a subnet for a more streamlined workflow.
- Subnetwork uniqueness validation — IP subnetworks are now validated for uniqueness to prevent duplicate or conflicting definitions.
- Improved related lists — Added related lists for IP Subnetworks from the IP Pool table, refined the ordering of allocated-IP related lists, and improved filtering on
the IP Address related list.
- Workspace refinement — Removed the IP Pools list from workspaces where it no longer applies and added new applicability rules for cleaner navigation.
Design & Workflow
- Added a new state transition from Design In Progress to Design Complete to better reflect the data center design lifecycle.
- Fixed the read-only description preset on the Data Center Infrastructure allocation change model.
- Restored the Open Record icon on reference fields within Design & Assign playbook steps.
Security & Platform
- Expanded access control coverage across advanced inventory tables to fully support secure query-range operations.
- Added support for the latest scripting standard (ECMAScript) in related-list logic.
Localization & Quality
- Resolved localization issues and applied translation updates.
