How to decide Main CI in De-duplication task in CMDB

Asmita7 · ‎03-16-2026

Hi friends,

I am stuck across creating De-duplication template. I am not able to create condition for how to decide the Main CI?

1. Oldest created

2. Most recent discovered

3. More related items

4. Discovery source

5. Most relationships

6. Has asset

7. based on condition

Which approach to follow to select main CI ?

Please suggest.

Your help is valuable and appreciated.

Thank you

Asmi

@Asmita7 Good Question!

Consider the below fields on CI to be as Main CI:

1. Most Recent Discovery

2. Oldest Created

3. Has Most Relationship

4. Has Most Task associated

5. Has Assets

If we get above on CI then should be consider as Main CI and action can be taken on left over CIs
