View Details

View Details command will open the detail page of the selected configuration

Approve/Disapprove

Most configuration items have an  Approved  flag to control if an item is  ready for publishing  and to temporarily disable parts of a configuration.

Publish/Unpublish

Publish

When publishing a Configuration Item, Database Objects are generated from the configuration metadata and deployed to the database.

The following happens when you publish:

• If applicable, database objects (e.g. a table to store custom entity data) are generated in the database.
• Privileged system users are granted access to the database objects.
• Caches (e.g. Configuration Items cache) are refreshed.

Unpublish

When unpublishing, all the deployed database objects except for the table will be removed. The table is kept so that the configuration can be updated and republished without losing any data. For information on how to completely remove a published logical unit see Cleanup Data.

Note: Unpublish removes the view and package from the server, this means that if other Configuration Items is referencing any of the attributes, they will not work anymore and possibly throw errors.
