CI Type Relationships

A relationship defines the link between two CIs. Relationships represent the dependencies and connections between the entities in your IT environment. When you select relationships or calculated relationships in the drop-down box in the CI Types pane, the topology map displays all the valid instances of CITs linked by the selected relationship. For details about calculated relationships, see Using Calculated Relationships.

The same attributes defined for CITs are also defined for relationships. You can also assign key attributes for relationships but it is not required. For details on defining new relationship types, see Create Configuration Item Type/Relationship/Calculated Relationship Wizard.
