Mapping Standard Operational Procedures

Mapping SOPs

You can map the Standard Operational Procedures (SOP) to selected Configuration Items (CIs), Classification or Category. This allows you to take appropriate actions when an Incident is raised for the mapped values. For example: If a Category or Classification configured for the SOP is selected in the Incident, a link is displayed above the Symptom field on the INCIDENT ID page where the Analyst can view the list of SOPs available. This helps the Analyst to take effective measures for the logged Incident. For more information about configuring SOPs, see Configuring Standard Operating Procedures.

To map SOPs:

  1. Select Incident > Configuration > Others > Standard Operational Procedure Mapping.
  2. On the SOP MAPPING LIST page, click the ADD NEW.
  3. On the SOP MAPPING page, select the Tenant and map a SOP to CIs. For more information about the fields on the SOP MAPPING page, see Field Description.
  4. Specify the required details and click SUBMIT.
