How to Add a CI Attribute to the Query Layout

To add a CI attribute to the integration, you must add this attribute to the layout setting from the query that synchronizes the CI type. You must know what CI type contains the CI attributes you want to add to the integration.

Keep a list of the attributes that you enable, because you will need to create a matching XSL transformation for each attribute you enable.

To add a CI attribute to the query layout:

Search for	Example	Results
A single word	`cat`	Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats".
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase.	`"cat food"` (quotation marks)	Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase.

Search for	Operator	Example
Two or more words in the same topic	`AND` `and` `+` (plus symbol) `&` (ampersand)	`cat AND dog` `"cat food"+milk` `"cat food"&"dog food"`
Either word in a topic	`OR` `or` `\|` (pipe)	`cat OR dog` `cat \| dog`
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase	`NOT` `not` `!` (exclamation point)	`NOT cat` `! dog`
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another	`^` (caret)	`cat ^ mouse`
A combination of search types	`( )` parentheses	`cat + (dog \| mouse)` `cat \| dog + (! mouse)`

Navigate to Modeling > Modeling Studio.

For Resource Type, select Queries.

From the Queries navigation tree, click Integration > SM Sync > 9.xx.

Select the query that manages the CI type whose attributes you want to add to the integration. For example, SM Computer Push. UCMDB displays the TQL graph for the integration query.

Select the node from the query layout that contains the CI attribute you want to add to the integration. For example, Root.

Right-click the node and select Query Node Properties. The Query Node Properties window opens.

Click Element layout tab. The Layout Settings tab opens.

Select the CI attribute you want to include in the integration from the Available Attributes list, and click the Add button to add it to Specific Attributes list. For example, OsVendor.
