Incident data model: Categorization

HPE Service Manager categorizes or classifies Incidents according to the following information:

  • Category

  • Area

  • Subarea

When a user creates an Incident record through the Service Manager interface, this user typically begins by selecting the Category; based on this information, Service Manager presents a filtered set of choices for Area and Subarea.

The Incident record also captures the ID of the failed CI or service, including the failing component.
