As an administrator, you can group multiple attributes in a CI attribute template and can attach the template to a CI record. The grouping helps the related attributes appear when the related CI detail is selected from the ticket or the CI details are viewed from the CI list in the CI Management Workspace. For example, you can create a CI attribute template for the Printer CCTI categorization. All the additional attributes in the CI attribute template can be included and attached to the Category-Class-Type-Item (CCTI) categorization. If you drill down to the related CI details in the ticket, the additional fields appear in the Additional Information section of the ticket. You can delete an attribute from a CI Attribute template. However, the value field and its associated value remain in all older records where the attribute was applied.

Considerations
- You can relate a CI Attribute template to multiple categorization (CCTI).
- The CI attribute template fields are available on all Configuration Item records with matching CCTI.
- You can relate a CI attribute template to at least one CCTI to make it available for any CI record.
- You can use any of the attributes from the attributes pool.
- If you delete or deactivate a CI Attribute Template, it is not available to the older CI records that you modify.
- You can add new attributes to an existing CI Attribute Template.
- If the Enforce Unique Value is selected, the attribute value must be unique for each CI record where the attribute is used. This option helps uniquely identify a CI record.
- You can create a maximum of 200 templates.
