    About this task

    Use the Configuration Item field when there is a single, primary CI that is the cause of the incident and the Affected CIs or the Impacted Services/CIs related list when multiple CIs are affected by the incident.

    Procedure

    1. Navigate to All > Incident > Open.
      Note:
      If the UI16 module link redirection feature is enabled in Service Operations Workspace (SOW) and the UI16 module supports the redirect configuration, navigating through UI16 paths automatically redirects you to the equivalent list or record pages in SOW instead of displaying the UI16 forms or lists. For more information, see Redirect UI16 module links to Service Operations Workspace.
    2. Open the incident record to which you want to associate CI items.
