Create a new CI type

In SimpleOne, IT services are considered configuration items, along with the constituent components required for proper service delivery. A CI type specifies a set of CI attributes and their hierarchical position in the service model structure.

To identify your CI, either as an IT service or as a custom CI, you first need to determine your CIs diversity with the CI Type list.

To create a new CI type, complete the steps below:

  1. Navigate to CMDB → CI Types and click New. 
  2. Fill in the Name field.
  3. Click Save or Save and exit to apply the changes.

The created CI type appears at the beginning of the list. Since each CI type defines the hierarchical level of the Service Dependency Map, creating a new one results in adding the next one at a lower level in the model.

In the Related Lists area, you can add CI records to categorize them by type.
