Subscribed service

Note A subscription includes only one of Subscribed to service, Subscribed to device, or Subscribed to infrastructure.

Field	Description
Based on service	The subscription is based on a service definition. This comes from either the service definition where the initiated offering is, or from the service definition containing the subscribed actual service. For example, assume the following: there is a service definition Mobile Phones. Under this service, there is an offering: Order New Mobile Subscription. If a user requests that offering, fulfilling the request creates a subscription. The subscription is based on the Mobile Phones service definition, so the value of this field is Mobile Phones.

Device	The device in the subscription.
Infrastructure and peripheral	The infrastructure and peripheral asset in the subscription.
