Field Descriptions
The fields displayed in the right column of the form will vary based on the CI Action you have indicated. The following is a list of all fields irrespective of whether or not they are visible.
Note
If you are requesting an update to an existing CI (CI Action = Update), you only need to include the information that is changing and any information you provide will be used in its entirety to replace the corresponding existing information. For example, if you provide a Description in the update request, the new description will replace the description currently on file. If you leave a field blank in the request or the information you provide already matches that which is on file, then no change will be made to the corresponding field in the existing CI record.
