# CMDB

Using the configuration items \(CI\), monitor the infrastructure and ensure continuous service operations.

Based on the CI type \( for example, Service, Offering, Computer\) selected in the **Configuration item type** field, a CI list of similar CI type is displayed. You can do the following for the similar CI type:

-   Edit CIs from the displayed list
-   Export the CI list
-   Upload CIs
-   Add a CI

**Note:** Use the **cmdb\_lite\_ci\_config** system property to define the CI types that should be displayed in the **Configuration item type** field.

For information about CI, see [Overview of CMDB](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/servicenow-platform/cnfig-mgmt-and-cmdb.md) and [Create a CI class](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/servicenow-platform/t_CreateCIType.md).
