With our old IPAM product we were able to create templates that could be applied when assigning a new subnet or supernet.
This allowed specific IP addresses to be marked as reserved with their designated device type predetermined based on the template selected.
In our business this takes the guess work out of which IP address should be assigned for which device.
Example:
Assign new subnet 192.168.1.0/27
Select Template: /27 (or whatever the name happens to be)
New subnet is created with the standard first and last IP being marked as reserved, however because I chose template /27 the following was also performed:
192.168.1.1 - Static - Used - Server IP
192.168.1.5 - Static - Used - WAP
192.168.1.6 -- 192.168.1.26 - DHCP - Server IP will be DHCP server
192.168.1.27 - Static - Used - Camera
192.168.1.28 - Static - Used - Climate
192.168.1.29 - Static - Used - Printer
192.168.1.30 - Static - Used - Gateway
You could then create multiple templates in the same size, or various sizes, that could then be applied to new subnets being defined for deployment.
I hope this makes sense, and that others feel a need for this as well.
