Is it possible for regular ITIL users to create their own model changes for normal changes? For example, someone wants to create a model they can use each month for monthly patching that would include their entire list of CIs. Also, is there a way to do a bulk import of CIs from a spreadsheet?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Have you consider fulfilling this scenario by using templates. Change template can be created for patching use case (prepopulating all "common" fields) - so this would speed up change record creation process.
For bulk CI import I'm assuming adding multiple CI as Affected CIs to change record with quick step:
- use Add button on "Affected CI" related list
- modify the filter to sth like Name - is one of and copy list of CI names from excel
- for filtered list just Add All

Hello,
If you need to stick with OOB (without any customizations/enhancements) I would go with Conflict detection which is already implemented in the tool.
Example from my PDI instance:
- I have a blackout window for every Wednesday:
- Now I register new change request record and schedule it within blackout window. After save/submit I will have following warning on the screen:
- I can review conflicts in two ways: looking at Conflicts tab:
- OR I can use Conflict Calendar
By building detailed Standard Operating Procedures / Work Instructions and utilizing OOB functionality you should be able to manage this perfectly.

Hi,
I'm assuming that you would like to have "Standard Change Proposals" included in items of CAB meeting.
You can modify your CAB meeting - manually add item to agenda:

Can you create a change template for Normal changes? If so, how and does the change manager have to do this or can each individual create their own?
