UI Overview
Navigation
To navigate through ReView, click the tabs and sub-tabs at the top of the application. The major tabs are:
Home - The Home page is the initial page displayed while in ReView. Tiles display current discovery progress, inventory, scan to-do list, and visualization tools for your network.
Discovery - The Discovery tab is the first step to identifying network resources to add to your inventory. Here, you can use configuration files, paste text configs, or use automated scanning options to identify devices to use for Discovery. Available discovery / device identification options include: DHCP, DNS, Firewall, Generic Config, mDNS, Load Balancer, Ping Scan, RIR, Router Configs, SNMP, ARP, SSDP, and Cloud Providers.
To-Do List - The To-Do list identifies and marks neighboring devices encountered during router discovery scanning, and lists them for future scanning.
Inventory - The Inventory tab displays an organized list of all discovered netblocks, IPs, sources, and their associated metadata. Here, for each netblock you can view RIR, Source, CIDR, use status, IPs found, total IPs, IP utilization, and start/end address.
Analyze - The Analyze tab interprets the IP inventory data found during Discovery, and determines valuation of free IPv4 space based on the current network structure.
Planning - The Planning tab shows the potential value of saved plan strategies, and the configuration differences for each plan.
Export - Export will prepare a report on the state of your network and email it to both you and to IPv4.Global/ Hilco. You may also download a PDF Report, or upload data into 6connect ProVision.
Additional helpful pages include:

About (question icon) - Displays the EULA for ReView
Documentation (book icon) - Provides a link to ReView’s online documentation.

General Settings
Appearance Options
ReView supports light and dark themes according to your system settings. You may choose between light mode, dark mode, OS based, or custom appearance settings.
For custom settings, select “Custom” and then paste the desired custom CSS to override default attributes. Edits made to Custom Styles are saved automatically.
Cache
Clearing the cache clears all application data, including removing the database, preferences, credentials, and temporary data.
Clearing the cache should only be in circumstances where a full ‘reset’ is necessary. Use with caution.
Pricing
The pricing data used for estimated values under the Analyze and Planning tabs is accessible under Settings → General → Pricing. Searchable price lists are available for both ARIN and RIPE.
Logs
The Logs tab displays logging information and ignored blocks.
