Configuration Item Detail

Configuration Item Detail pages identify a CI and determine which type of page appears so that you can create or manage the CI. CI Name and the CI Class are required. An asterisk (*) identifies a field that is required. If you use change verification, informational messages appear at the top of the detail form.

When you assign the new CI to a CI class, the CI family is automatically assigned (because a class is already associated with a family). When you click Continue on the initial Create New Configuration Item page, the appropriate CI page appears, depending on the family.

Note: For a list of the default CA CMDB families and the classes they contain, see the CA CMDB Technical Reference Guide.

You can display the Create New Configuration Item page by choosing New CI from the File menu on the main page. To display the Update Configuration Item page, click Edit from the CI Detail page.

You can also navigate to the CI page from the Administration tab by using the CI List item in the menu tree.

Note: The displayed fields can differ depending on the CI class selected. The CI Family determines what appears on the Attributes tab.
