Number Elements

</td><td>

List of the number elements that are associated with your virtual local area network \(VLAN\) or link aggregation group \(LAG\). To learn more about the number elements fields, see [Commonly used network asset instance identification fields](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/telecom-network-inventory/telecommunications-network-inventory/commonly-used-tni-identification-fields.md).**Note:** This tab is available only for the Telco Equipment, Network Interface, Physical Connections, Logical Connections, and Inventory Number forms.

Physical connection elements

</td><td>

List of the connection elements that are added for the physical connections.**Note:** This tab is available only for the Physical Connections form.

</td></tr><tr><td>

Connection elements

</td><td>

List of the connection elements that are added for the logical connections. These elements should be the valid logical connections between the sites when the computation performs the path search. After creating a connection element, a relationship is created between the logical or physical connection and the next element under its default relationship type. To learn more about the connection element fields, see [Connection Element form](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/telecom-network-inventory/telecommunications-network-inventory/connection-element-form.md).

 **Note:**

-   This tab is available only for the logical connections.
-   The relationship gets updated if its connection element is modified or deleted. For example, the relationship gets deleted if you delete its connection element. To change the default relationship type, navigate to **System Definition** &gt; **Decision tables** &gt; **TNI CI Relationship Definition Policy**, and under **Decision table**, update the **CI Relationship Type** against the CI class.

</td></tr><tr><td>
