Create a child configuration item (CI) type in Configuration Management Database (CMDB)
to manage a more specific category of assets in a parent CI type. A child CI type organizes
related assets into a structured hierarchy. It applies shared attributes and rules to similar
infrastructure components.
Required Editions
Available in: Lightning Experience
Available in: Enterprise, Performance, and Unlimited
Editions with Agentforce IT Service that have CMDB and Service Graph enabled.
User Permissions Needed
To create child configuration item types:
IT Service Configuration Item Type Manager
Use child CI types when you need to define subcategories within a broader asset group. For
example, in a parent CI type like Workstation, you can create a child CI type called virtual
workstation to track cloud-based desktops separately. This approach improves data clarity and
helps teams apply consistent standards to similar assets.
From the App Launcher, find and select CMDB and Service Graph.
In the navigation panel, select Administration, and then select
CMDB.
Click CI Type Manager.
In the Configuration Item Type Manager list, click the parent CI type.
In the record page, click New Child Item Type, and then complete the
details:
Field
Description
Name
Name for the new child CI type. For example virtual workstation.
Description
Description of the asset category that this child CI type represents.
Mark as Component
Classification that identifies CIs of this type as parts of larger systems or
services. For example, hard drive can be a component of a database server.
Click Save.
The new child CI type appears in the Configuration Item Type Hierarchy section of the
parent CI type's record page.
