Hello, @FrancescoPFlorida Blue 

The ‘service_status’ field of the ‘cmdb_ci_service’ table in a Configuration Management Database (CMDB) represents the current state or lifecycle phase of a Configuration Item (CI). Here’s a brief explanation of when a CI might take on each of these values:

Design: The CI is in the planning phase, where initial designs and blueprints are being created.
Requirements: The CI’s requirements are being gathered and defined.
Retired: The CI is no longer in active use and has been decommissioned.
Definition: The CI’s specifications and characteristics are being outlined.
Development: The CI is currently being developed or programmed.
Obsolete: The CI is outdated and has been replaced by newer technology or solutions.
Build/Test/Release: The CI is in the stages of being built, tested, and prepared for release.
Analysis: The CI is undergoing analysis, possibly for improvement or troubleshooting.
Approved: The CI has been reviewed and approved for use or deployment.
Operational: The CI is fully functional and is currently in use within the organization.
Chartered: The CI has been formally initiated or authorized for development or deployment.
Retiring: The CI is in the process of being phased out and will soon be retired.

I hope this step is helpful to you.
