New Features
(CFR denotes customer requested)
Resource Cloning / Template:
Cloning an Entry duplicates the Entry and, if desired, any Child Entries existing under it.
This feature can be used to quickly and efficiently create multiple resources with same format, field information, or similar hierarchy structure. See Working with Entries for additional information.
Information Cloned: Format of the original Resource (which gadgets are enabled, location, fields), contact / tech information, field information, and (if selected) Child Entries, and Child Entry sections, fields, and field informaiton - in general, items that are chosen or input at the entry creation, or input into text fields.
Information not Cloned: IP Blocks, DNS Zones, uploaded documents - in general, items that are assigned to the entry rather than input into fields.
To Clone a Resource:
The Resource Clone feature may be accessed from either the Resources Tab dropdown menu, or from a Resource Entry page.
From the Resources Tab dropdown, select "Resource Clone". This will take you to the Resource Clone page.
You may also select "Clone" from the bottom of a Resource Entry page, in which case the Entry page you clicked "Clone" from will be automatically selected as the resource to clone.
Once on the Resource Clone Page, enter the Resource to clone, Parent Resource, and the New Name for the clone. If you wish for all children of that resource (and their children, if applicable) to be cloned, check the "Clone Resource Children" checkbox. When complete, click the "Clone Resource" button.
CFR-103: One-Click IPAM Aggregate Manage:
In the IPAM tab, Clicking on the header for an aggregate now directly opens up the Manage screen for that aggregate.
Click on the header for the aggregate (CIDR / Region) to open Manage Aggregate screen.
Additional Features
Scheduler Updates:
Task List Filters: The Task Scheduler can now be filtered! Radio button filters have been added under the time information. Select "Show: All" to see all tasks scheduled, or "Show: Active" to only show active tasks. You may also use the text input filter box, located above and to the right of the task list, to filter tasks by Name or Repeat Info keyword.
IM- 1957: Chart View Improvements:
An Action Menu has been added to entries in Chart View, allowing users to view, edit, clone, and delete entries.
From Chart View, left click on the Action Menu (wrench icon) to access links to the view, edit, clone, and delete functions.
IM-1958: Improved IPAM Parent Tree View
IPAM Parent / Tree View now shows applicable Tag, Notes, and Region details for blocks.
In the IPAM Tab, under IPAM Manage for an aggregate, enter Parent / Tree View by selecting multiple masks and click "Apply". In this view, clicking on a parent block link expands into a detailed tree list showing child blocks. This list now has additional detailed information.
IM-1944/1945: DHCP Gadget Improvements
The DHCP Gadget has improved searching and Smart Assign capabilities:
- Improved searching of pools by Name, MAC, or IP address
Linked Pools:
In the DHCP Gadget, select "Name", "MAC", or "IP" from the dropdown above the linked and existing pools lists. Enter the search criteria based on your selection:
- Name: Enter the text of the full or partial name of the pool
- MAC: Enter the full (ex: 00:11:22:33:44:55:66:77) or partial (:22) MAC address associated with the pool, ensuring that a colon is included in part of the search text.
- IP: Enter the full IPv4 or IPv6 CIDR of the block associated with the pool (ex: 10.0.0.0/24)
Existing Pools:
Existing Pool search uses the same criteria options as the linked pools, with the added ability to include "Region" or "Resource" criteria for IP Search:
After selecting the search type and entering your search term, hit the "Search" Button and the Pools list will be filtered to matching results.
DHCP pool Smart Assign can now use Region, Resource, and VLAN criteria for assigning
Additional criteria options of Region, Resource, and VLAN (Domain / VLAN) are available for smart assigning a new DHCP Pool.
Enter your criteria, then click "Add Pool".
(A DHCP aggregate must already exist with the selected Regions / Resource / Domain / VLAN properties for the assignment to succeed.)

The search screen now highlights the search term in the return data.
CFR / IM-1954 IPAM API Update
