Configuration Item Workflow
CI assets use two distinct workflows based on their classification of either hardware or software.
The following figure shows the high-level Hardware CI (Computers, Mobile Devices, Printers, Network Devices, Servers, Systems, Telephony Equipment, and Other CIs) process workflow in the OOTB system.
Note: Access additional statuses (Stolen/MIA, In Repair, In Testing,
etc.) at any time via the View More Status options link (I Want To section of
the Quick Info Tile).
A CI progressing through the Hardware CI workflow encounters the following statuses:
