category and subcategory in cmdb

Hi,

How the category and sub-category values flow in CMDB perspective (type is string, not choice)?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @JulietD ,

 

  • Category and Subcategory are fields that provide a way to classify Configuration Items (CIs) and are typically used to organize them in a logical hierarchy.

  • The Category field is typically a high-level classification (such as Hardware, Software, Network, etc.), and the Subcategory field allows for further refinement or specificity within that category (e.g., for Hardware: Servers, Routers, etc.).

you need to set the value while importing data using transform map, integration or manual update.

 

Accept the solution if it helped

 

can you explain it in cmdb perspective? As the type is not choice, it is string.
