The status of a configuration item type determines whether
actual configuration items associated with that type are imported
into the Actual Configuration Items application.
A configuration item type can have one of the following statuses:
- New - This status applies to all configuration item types when
you import them into the CI Types application. Actual configuration
items that are associated with a configuration item type with a status
of new are not imported. After you activate or deactivate a new configuration
item type, you cannot change the status back to new.
- Active - Actual configuration items that are associated with a
configuration item type with a status of active are imported.
- Inactive- Actual configuration items that are associated with
a configuration item type with a status of inactive are not imported.
In the CI Types application, you use the Change Status action
to change the status of a configuration item type.
