Relating CIs to a configuration
By relating the CI records to an approved configuration, you can keep track of which CIs are deployed in the configuration.
Before you can relate CI records to a configuration, the configuration must:
- Have items that correspond to the CI records
- Be active and approved
Each CI can be deployed in only one configuration. You can relate multiple CIs to a configuration, but you can relate only one configuration to a CI. If you relate a CI to a configuration, the configuration replaces any existing configuration for the CI.

- In the Manage Configurations dialog box, select an active and approved configuration to which you want to relate a CI, and click View.
