What is Dynamic CI Group in ServiceNow? ›

A Dynamic CI group is a dynamic grouping of configuration items (CIs), based on a criteria defined through a CMDB group.

A dynamic group is a Google Group whose memberships are automatically managed using a membership query or a query on employee attributes, such as job role or building location. For example, a membership query might be "all users whose job role is Technical Writer in my organization."

Assigned: Administrators manually assign users or devices to this group, and manually remove users or devices. Dynamic User: Administrators create membership rules to automatically add and remove members. Dynamic Device: Administrators create dynamic group rules to automatically add and remove devices.

CMDB stands for configuration management database, a file that clarifies the relationships between the hardware, software, and networks used by an IT organization. Your CMDB stores information on the configuration of items like hardware, software, systems, facilities, and even personnel.

CI makes software development easier, faster, and less risky for developers. By automating builds and tests, developers can make smaller changes and commit them with confidence.

The key goals of continuous integration are to find and address bugs quicker, improve software quality, and reduce the time it takes to validate and release new software updates.
