# CMDB

The CMDB Settings menu contains the following items:

**CI Types** View a list of all your CI Types. You can also create new CI Types and modify existing types.

**CI Sub Types** Each CI type in SysAid can have it's own sub types for classifying CIs that fall into general categories. Here you can view, create, and modify your CI Subtypes.

**CI Relation Types** View a list of your CI Relation Types. You can also add new CI Relation Type and modify existing types.

**CI Templates** View and edit your CI Templates. CI Templates are used to create multiple CI's of the same type.

**Import System Items** Import all of your assets, your software products, and your catalog items into the CMDB.

**Import CIs from a Comma Delimited File** Easily import a list of CIs from a .csv file. You can also update existing CIs by reimporting them with updated information.

**Import Settings** Choose which actions SysAid will automatically perform during the importing of CIs.

**Import Assets to CI Settings** Set which CI fields are automatically populated (at CI creation) with their corresponding asset fields.
