You use Inventory Group specifications to organize and correlate entities in the inventory. You can define inventory groups to organize entities based on criteria such as geographic area, serving area, billing area, IP address pool, and so forth.
For example, an inventory group containing locations and telephone numbers enables you to specify the telephone numbers that can be selected from a specific serving area.
You create Inventory Group specifications in the same manner as you create other types of specifications. See "Creating New Specifications" for more information.
See "Inventory Group Specification Editor" for reference information about the tabs you use to define an Inventory Group specification.
Use the Inventory Group Specifications editor to organize and correlate entities in the inventory.
When working with the Inventory Group Specifications editor, see the following topics:
Use the Related Specifications tab to define and review specification relationships. Only relationships with the entity types listed in this tab are meaningful by default in UIM. If you add specifications to the Others section, you must define custom rulesets that trigger actions or behavior based on those relationships.
