FootPrints Configuration Manager Database Home Page Overview

There are two locations from which the CMDB is administered:

System Administration Configuration Manager page
CMDB administration window

The System Administration Configuration Manager page is accessed by selecting Administration | System from the FootPrints toolbar and then selecting Configuration Manager and Service Catalog from the main frame. This displays an administration page from which you can administer system-wide functions for the CMDB.

The CMDB administration window is where you access the administration functions for a particular CMDB, as opposed to system-wide configuration functions performed from the FootPrints interface. The CMDB administration window is accessed in one of two ways:

From the FootPrints toolbar, select More | CMDB. The CMDB homepage is displayed. Click on Administration from the toolbar.
From the System Administration Configuration Manager page, select the CMDB you want to administer from the Existing CMDBs drop-down in the CMDB Access section and then click the Open CMDB link. The CMDB homepage is displayed. Click on Administration from the toolbar.

The CMDB Interface

If you created a CMDB and are accessing it for the first time, the CMDB homepage displays a welcome and informational message.

The CMDB homepage is divided into three areas, like the regular FootPrints homepage. The top of the page contains the search interface, the name of the current CMDB, Sign-out link, Preferences page link, and Help link. Immediately below the top section is the toolbar, which provides access to the main CMDB options and menus. The current CMDB page is displayed below the toolbar.
