Affected Item field in Incident Management

The information available to populate the Affected Item field on the CIs and Services tab depends on conditions related to the service recipient. For example, if the recipient has individual or department subscriptions, a list of CIs associated with those subscriptions opens. If a recipient does not have any subscriptions, the following behavior occurs:

If there is an incident recipient, a list of the CIs assigned to that recipient opens.
If there is a location, a list of the CIs assigned to that location opens.
If the system has several companies and there is a company specified, a list of the CIs assigned to that company opens.
If there is a device type specified, a list of the CIs of that type opens.

Note: If you want to obtain a list of all CIs, do not enter any recipient information before you click the Affected Item field.
