There was a recent table created this month called cmn_media in the CMDB Ci Class version 1.68.0. This is all the info that was provided: 

  • cmn_media
    • cmn_media is a generic table that stores media that is uploaded against a record. Current options are video and image media types.
    • One of the first uses is in the Telecommunications Network Inventory (TNI). The table enables the Network Planning Agent to upload images for a network site, mark them as active/inactive, maintain the sequence and description of each image, and view the active images of the network site in the TNI workspace.

It makes it sound like media should be uploaded elsewhere but the media type is just stored in this table however even if I go to Network Site directly or via the Network workspace there is no field besides attachment to associate the media to it or a separate option of the list of media records in the list on TNI and if you use attachment it certainly is not stored in this table. If I create a record directly on the table itself, I still can't relate it to anything else to see it anywhere but the table itself. HELP -HOW IS THIS TABLE SUPPOSED TO WORK? I tried to look at configuring the network site page and didn't see any reference to this table available. An additional information would be greatly appreciated.

We also have immediate and high-priority need to understand the use-cases and UI/UX for this new media table.
