    • The Physical Connection Creation subflow enables you to create a physical connection record in the Telecommunications Network Inventory application based on the input that you receive when you instantiate an inventory.

    You can use the Physical Connection Creation subflow to create a physical port connection on the interface cards in your networks.

    This subflow also creates the connection elements and associates them to the physical connection.

    If you enter a physical connection element, this subflow creates the corresponding connection element and associates it to the physical connection.

    Roles and availability

    Users with the admin role can add a subflow to a flow and define the configuration details of the flow. This Workflow Studio subflow is available in the Telecommunications Network Inventory application so that you can perform inventory-related data operations.
