In general, standard actions from the Action Menu will be performed the same in either area, with "Assign" being the exception.

IPAM Block Action Menu

...

Most actions performed with block managed are contained under the IPAM Manage - Action Menu. Open the Action Menu by left clicking on the Gear Icon, or right clicking anywhere on the block's row. The same Action Menu is also available to manage blocks via the IPAM Gadget.

Column

The Action Menu contains the following options: Edit: Opens the blocks "Edit Attributes" page, used to add, change, or remove data associated with a block. Can also be opened by double clicking on a block's row. Split: Splits the selected single block into two equal smaller blocks, of the next smallest mask, e.g. a /24 will be split into two /25s. The Split option is not available for blocks that are already of the smallest available size ( IPv4 /32s or IPv6 /128s), for blocks in "Holding", or for blocks that are already assigned and do not have subassignments enabled. If more than one level of splitting is needed, use "Templates - Auto Split" instead.  Merge: The opposite of Split. Merge combines two blocks of equal size into the next largest mask, e.g., two /25s will be merged into one /24. Merge is only available for adjacent blocks of the same size that are "Available", in "Holding", or is subassignable. Assign: Assigns the block to a ProVision Resource, making it unavailable for other assignment actions and certain block actions (unless edited to be subassignable). Move: Moves IP Blocks from one resource to another without the need to pass through either the Holding or Available status. Unassign: Unassigns the Resource from the current block, and moves the block into the Holding Tank. The block may then be eligible for certain actions such as direct assignment, merge, and split - but not for automated assignments until it is removed from Holding and regains the "Available" status. Unassigning a subassigned block will first place the block in "Holding", and then restore it to the parent assignment. (Tip: You can "Unassign" twice in a row to bypass "Holding", or select "Unassign, Skip Holding".) Unassign, Skip Holding: Unassigns the Resource from the current block, and bypasses the Holding Tank, restoring the block to "Available" status (or to the parent assignment if the block was subassigned).  RIR Integration: Provides SWIP/RPSL functions for ARIN and RIPE blocks through simple reassigns, sending the updated block assignment information back to the coordinating RIR (ARIN or RIPE). See LIR Management and Use and RIR Integration: SWIP-RPSL. IP Rules: Create or Associate an IP Rule to the block to reserve portions of the block from assignment. See IPAM Rules. Templates: Provides options to 'Auto-Split' a standard block (that is available for standard "split" functionality) down to a certain mask and limit, or "Clean Up"(Auto-merge) a Parent Block to a certain mask level.  Logs: Shows recent log event actions associated with that block. Configure NAT: Only displays for NAT'ed blocks. Configures the NAT'ed block to the selected router. Email: If a Contact is associated with the Resource assigned to the block, an email form with display to email the Contact with the template options provided in Admin Settings.  Alerts: Enable or clear alert emails for a block by setting an email address and utilization percentage level. When the block is utilized to the set percent, an email alert will be sent to the provided address.

Split or Merge Blocks

...

Merge is only available for adjacent blocks of the same size that are "Available", in "Holding", or are subassignable.

Split or Merge Blocks Using Templates

You have three options for assigning IP space using the IPAM Gadget: Direct Assign, Smart Assign, and Smart Browse.

Direct Assign

Direct Assign is used when you know the exact CIDR that you wish to assign to the Resource. You can use "Simple" direct assign, for straightforward assignments of a CIDR to the Resource, or "Advanced", used in cases where duplicate blocks may exist and you need additional criteria to differentiate between them.

...

Smart Assign / Smart Browse

Smart Assign and Smart Browse are used when you have criteria that you need to meet for the assignment, and any block meeting that criteria is acceptable for assignment. 

With Smart Assign, you enter criteria such as IP Type, Size, RIR, Region, and Tag information, then ProVision's automation will automatically assign a block meeting that criteria, if any exist. Smart Browse uses the same criteria, but provides a browsable list of blocks meeting that criteria for you to select from. Users can also save commonly applied Smart Assign / Smart Browse filter criteria for repeat use as Predefined Filters.

Expand
title Using Smart Assign / Smart Browse
Expand the "Smart Assign" module in the IPAMv2 by clicking the expansion arrow in the right side of the Smart Assign header. For a basic assignment, enter at least the IP type, RIR, and block size. To assign a sub-assignable block, select the resource under which the block is allocated. Section and category options are available to filter the resource selector. IP Tag filters are optional. IP Tag filters exist in three modes: Standard - checks to see if the selected tag is associated with the block Strict: limits results to blocks with exactly the selected tag(s) Exclude - blocks without the selected tag(s) For Advanced Options, Click the "Show Advanced Options +" expansion link in the top right of the header. Additional filter criteria will be available to apply to both Smart Browse and Smart Assign. Then click "Smart Browse" or "Smart Assign". For Smart Assign, you will receive a message indicating a successful assignment, or information regarding an error. If no blocks are available meeting the criteria, the message will say so. In this case, try removing one or more of your filter criteria and try again. As with Direct Assign, a newly assigned block may be edited immediately by clicking "Edit assigned block" in the success message bubble. For Smart Browse, a screen will pop up showing blocks meeting your criteria. Browse to the block you want to assign, and click either "Assign this block", or "Assign from this block"(splits a larger block down). Image Removed Image Added Successful assignments will be added to the "IP Blocks" list in the IPAMv2 Gadget, and are able to be managed in the IPAM Gadget, IPAMv2 Gadget, or IPAM Manage Screen. If no available blocks are found meeting the Smart Assign or Smart Browse filter conditions, but one or more subassignable blocks are found, a modal will inform the user and suggest resources with allocations that meet that criteria. To assign the suggested block, simply click "Use this resource". Predefined Filters Users can save Smart Assign filter criteria for repeat use by saving them as Predefined Filters, accessible through the gear menu at upper right of the Smart Assign section.

To run a smart assign template from the IPAM Gadget, expand Smart Assign and select the template from the "Smart Assign Templates" dropdown and click "Execute".
