Selecting impacts for target CIs or assets

After you calculate the target CI or asset impacts, you can select one or more of the impacts to record them as impacts for the target. You might calculate the impacts of individual target CIs or assets when you add a target to a task, or when new CI relationships are added to the configuration management database (CMDB).
