Create Logical Connection with template subflow
The Create Logical Connection with template subflow enables you to create a logical connection record from an inventory template in the Telecommunications Network Inventory application. The logical connection record is created based on the input that you receive when you instantiate an inventory using an inventory template.
You can use the Create Logical Connection with template subflow to create a logical connection from an inventory template on your network interface cards.
This subflow also creates the connection elements and associates them to the logical connection.
If you enter a network interface, equipment, physical connection, logical connection, or managed function as a connection element, the Logical Connection Creation subflow creates the corresponding connection element.
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.
