Export New CI from Asset

You can export the Assets from the SummitAI Asset Management module to SummitAI CMDB (Configuration Management Database) module by selecting one Asset at a time. All the mapped fields associated with the Asset are exported to the CI (Configuration Item). Based on the field mapping configuration for the selected template, the Asset details are automatically synchronized to the CI. The templates are configured on the CMDB MAPPING page (see: Configuring CMDB Mapping).
