Manage Project Links to a CMDB

When you create a CMDB, you associate it with a project or projects. This enables you to link CMDB to Issues in the projects project. Once a CMDB has been created, you can add additional project links or disassociate a project from the CMDB.

To change the project links to a CMDB:

  1. Select Administration | System from the FootPrints toolbar and then select Configuration Management Database from the main frame. The Configuration Management administration page is displayed.
  2. In the Manage Project Links to a CMDB section of the page, select a CMDB from the Existing CMDBs drop-down field. Two fields are displayed: the Available Projects field lists projects that are not linked to a CMDB and the Linked Projects field lists projects associated with the selected CMDB.
  3. To:
  4. Add a project link, click on the project name in the Available Projects list and then click the Add button. You can add multiple project links if you wish.
  5. Remove a project link, click on the project name in the Linked Projects list and then click the Delete button. Only the link is deleted. The project itself remains intact in FootPrints. You can delete multiple project links if you wish. You can even delete all project links; doing so does not delete the CMDB.
  6. When you finish altering project relationships, click the GO button.
