# CI Sub Types

Each CI type in SysAid can have its own sub types. This aids in classifying CIs that fall into general categories, such as assets.

SysAid includes a number of default sub types for the Asset CI types:

- DHCP Server
- Laptop
- Other SNMP Device
- Printer
- Router
- Server
- Smartphone
- Switch
- Tablet
- Workstation
- Firewall
- Other

. You can also add your own sub types.

**To add a new CI sub type:**

1. Click **Upload icon** on the first line of the table to add a custom icon. If you don't add an icon, SysAid will use the same icon as for the CI sub type **Other**. Recommended icon size is approximately 32x32 pixels.
2. Enter the name for the CI sub type in the first line of the table.
3. Click **Add**.

You may also change the icon used for any of the existing CI sub types using the appropriate **Change icon** button, and you can delete any existing CI sub type using the appropriate **Delete** button.
