Configuration Item List¶
This screen gives an overview of configuration items. Configuration items have an Incident State column, which includes two state types:

- Incident
For each state type, any number of states can be registered. The state of a configuration item affects the service state, which will be dynamically calculated and displayed in the Services screen of the agent interface.
