Default definition. This article describes the default
IPADDRESS definition shipped with DemandFlow. Administrators can add, remove, rename, or re-type fields, change which ones are required, and alter the layout from the Definitions screen in Settings. Your tenant's current schema may differ from what is shown here. To read the current definition at any time, GET the DEFINITION object whose id matches IPADDRESS.Entity properties

Use cases
IPADDRESS represents a single host IP address (e.g., 10.0.1.5/24 or 2001:db8::1/64). The CIDR mask is included in the name field to indicate the subnet this address belongs to. Status tracks the assignment state: Active (in use on a device), Reserved (allocated but not configured), Deprecated (being phased out), DHCP (dynamically assigned), and SLAAC (IPv6 auto-configuration).
