1.1 About CMS

CMS includes:

  • Role-Based Communities: Users can view and interact with CMDB data and contribute to information quality management. Each CMDB community consists of logically related CMDB data – grouped by function, role, class, or geography.

  • myWorkspace: Analyze and manipulate CMDB data without affecting production configurations.

  • Activity Feeds: View additions, edits, and changes to CI and communities.

  • Advanced Search Model Capabilities: Perform quick and intuitive searches and reporting on CMDB information within each community.

  • Persistent Bookmarks: Direct access to CIs, community pages, and ad hoc queries for quick review of your most useful data.

  • Reporting: Leverage your searches by creating reports that can be shared with others.

  • Community-Defined Governance: Ensures CMDB updates are performed only by authorized personnel.
