Useful related lists in CI forms

concept australia Updated Sep 10, 2026 1 min read c_UsefulRelatedListsInCIForms.md

By default, the forms that display manageable configuration items (CI) - computers, printers, network gear, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), and power distribution units (PDU) - provide a number of related lists for the form.

The following related lists are common to all forms for manageable CIs.

Network Adapters - Displays all the NICs installed on a CI.
CI IPs - Displays all the IP addresses on this CI:
- Computers (workstations, laptops using various macOS and Windows operating systems)
- Windows servers
- Linux servers
- AIX servers
- Solaris servers
- Devices discovered through SNMP.
DNS Names for CIs - Displays all the DNS names on a CI.

The IP version information appears in all IP address related lists and forms.

Note: Since all paths here click into the IP Address to DNS Names list that associates an IP address with a DNS name, this part of the common flow was not added to the tree structure.

Discovery source

A table called Source [sys_object_source] stores information identifying the source of a discovery (by ServiceNow Discovery or another product), the ID of that source, and the date/time of the last scan. To view this information, configure a CI form and add the Sources related list.

This table is populated automatically when the Discovery plugin is enabled.

# Useful related lists in CI forms

By default, the forms that display manageable configuration items \(CI\) - computers, printers, network gear, uninterruptible power supplies \(UPS\), and power distribution units \(PDU\) - provide a number of related lists for the form.

The following related lists are common to all forms for manageable CIs.

-   Network Adapters - Displays all the NICs installed on a CI.
-   CI IPs - Displays all the IP addresses on this CI:
    -   Computers \(workstations, laptops using various macOS and Windows operating systems\)
    -   Windows servers
    -   Linux servers
    -   AIX servers
    -   Solaris servers
    -   Devices discovered through SNMP.
-   DNS Names for CIs - Displays all the DNS names on a CI.

The IP version information appears in all IP address related lists and forms.

**Note:** Since all paths here click into the **IP Address to DNS Names** list that associates an IP address with a DNS name, this part of the common flow was not added to the tree structure.

## Discovery source

A table called Source \[sys\_object\_source\] stores information identifying the source of a discovery \(by ServiceNow Discovery or another product\), the ID of that source, and the date/time of the last scan. To view this information, configure a CI form and add the **Sources** related list.

This table is populated automatically when the [Discovery plugin](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/it-operations-management/t_ActivateTheDiscoveryPlugin.md) is enabled.
