# Define the power circuit details

# Define the power circuit details {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Australia

Define the power circuit record to represent the electrical pathway that delivers power in a datacenter. By defining the power circuit records, you can track and manage your network assets in the Telecommunications Network Inventory application.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn_ni_core.inventory_admin, sn_ni_core.inventory_agent

## About this task

When you create a power circuit connection record, it creates a corresponding configuration item (CI) record in the circuit \[cmdb_ci_circuit\] table. To learn more, see [Data model](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/WNTmdyU~N7GDRyprgNx9Og "The data model for Telecommunications Network Inventory displays the relationships between your network assets, infrastructure, and services. With this information, you can provision new services, modify existing services, maintain the network, and plan the forecast for the network growth in your organization.").

## Procedure

1. Navigate to WorkspacesNetwork Inventory Workspace.
2. Select the list icon (![List icon.]()), and then select InventoryPower Circuits.
3. Select New.
4. On the Details tab, in the Circuit section, fill in the fields.  
   To learn more about the fields, see [Power circuit form](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/tFjZfb50yhUUOuyUv~vnxA "The Power Circuit form enables you to describe the details for an power circuit record.").
5. On the Details tab, in the Configuration section, fill in the configuration information for the power circuit.  
   To learn about the configuration fields, see [Commonly used network asset instance configuration fields](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/_IPzxAUaZB6mLdWFm1K1Xg "These fields, listed in alphabetic order, are common to some or most of the Configuration sections in the Telecommunications Network Inventory forms. The ServiceNow AI Platform uses them to configure individual network assets when you define your network asset instances.").
6. To create the Telecommunications Network Inventory attributes for the Power Circuit form, select Set Inventory Attributes.  
   When you select the Set Inventory Attributes button, it creates the TNI CI Attributes record in the CI table as well as the Telecommunications Network Inventory CI Attributes tables and makes a relationship with the CI record.  
   Note:  
   If you select Save without selecting Set Inventory Attributes, it creates a CI record but not a Telecommunications Network Inventory CI record. In the network inventory workspace, the Set Inventory Attributes is visible only for the Telecommunications Network Inventory roles.
7. On the TNI CI Attributes form, fill in the fields.  
   To learn more about the Telecommunications Network Inventory attribute fields, see [TNI CI Attributes form](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/FxInCEx9mPwGF1jU_TiOqA "The TNI CI Attributes form enables you to create the Telecommunications Network Inventory attribute details for a network inventory in the Telecommunications Network Inventory application.").
8. Select Save.  
   The Telecommunications Network Inventory attribute fields are displayed on the Power Circuit form after you save the TNI CI Attributes form. The Set Inventory Attributes doesn't appear when
   you reopen the CI record.
9. To add the attachments, such as graphics or documents, select the attachment icon (![Attachment icon.]()).
10. Select Save.  
    The related tabs appear on the form. You can view or modify the related tab information. To learn more about the related tabs, see [Related tabs in the Network inventory forms](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/jACb5lIoDhdHZ6aLqvsTJw "The related tabs in the Network Inventory forms display the related records that dynamically change based on the connection and relationships with the other network assets. You can selectively view, modify, or update these records.").
11. To view the associated network inventories, select the brick icon (![Brick icon.]()).  
    The Infrastructure Relationships section shows all the associated network inventories grouped by the individual network asset instances.

## What to do next

If you want to establish relationships with the other network assets, enter the details in the related tabs. To learn more, see [Related tabs in the Network inventory forms](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/jACb5lIoDhdHZ6aLqvsTJw "The related tabs in the Network Inventory forms display the related records that dynamically change based on the connection and relationships with the other network assets. You can selectively view, modify, or update these records.").
