I Have a story in which it is mentioned to make server, unix server and windows server as my principal CI's , but if I set my server as principal so won't the unix and windows also inherit that because it comes under Server , or do i have to make these classes also as principal classes.

Hi @Andleeb ,

I have just checked this and looks like you have to make all the 3 tables(classes) as principal classes

 

to make a ci class as principal you can go to cmdb_class_info table and create a record and set principal class as true

Principal Class is applied only to the selected class and not derived to child classes. See below documentation for reference,
