Administering Configuration Management

Initial Configuration Management can be an involved process, depending on how large a configuration you want to manage and the number of Configuration Items (CIs) and CI Attributes you have. FootPrints Configuration Management has a number of automations to help get your configuration built as quickly as possible, including the ability to import CIs from a .csv file and Configuration Management templates.

NOTE

Only System Administrators have Configuration Management administrative privileges.
