It is simpler than that if you want to do automated relationships. If you have the user login for each asset you can create the workflow needed to populate the AST:AssetPeople with the data needed to create a new related user. Please review the data held on the AST:AssetPeople form and I think you will better understand how the relationships are held. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Sent: Thu, 25 Jan 2007 8:39 AM Subject: Re: CMDB 2.0 and Incident Management
Morning Terry,, I actually dreamt about CMDB all night,, :( Anyway, if I do a federated link to the CTM:People form to get the people info into the CMDB, then as long as they have a common link I'll be able to create that relationship right? Thanks!

If you have built the relationships in the CMDB correctly, when you go and fill in the Incident Customer information (on the Customer Tab of the Incident and press <CR>), the list of related configuration items should automatically appear in the table field called "Customer's CIs". You can then relate this incident to this CI by clicking the row in the table field and then the "RELATE" button. It then puts this CI in the table under the Relationship Tab. This is in the Incident Management Users guide, whenever you get to that document.
