Customize properties to maintain or add information you care about.
Manage your data in bulk or connection-by-connection.
Automatically track changes to network connections.

This is the first phase of Connectivity. Further enhancements to the add-on are coming, such as network mapping and 3D visualization, associating documents/media to connections, and IPAM tools.

The Connectivity add-on feature is available for $2 /asset /year. Base subscription is required. For full details, see pricing.
