Creating Custom Status Values
For some resources, you may need to create a custom status value.
If you assign a custom status to an asset, it becomes inactive and does not appear in the reports. Instead of using custom statuses, Symantec recommends that you create a custom status as a Location and assign the asset to this location.
When a custom status is deleted, the resources that are configured with the particular custom status are reverted to the
Active
status.This task is a step in the process for managing configuration items.
- To create custom status values
- In the Symantec Management Console, on theSettingsmenu, clickAll Settings.
- In the left pane, expandService and Asset Management > CMDB Solution, and then clickCMDB Global Settings.
- In the right pane, in theCustom Statusbox, type the name of the custom status value, and then clickAdd.
