==Introduction==
 
The Configuration Manager app consists of a Configuration Item (CI) list and a graphical explorer used for browsing related CIs. These tools are used to configure and visualize your CMDB. On the installation of Configuration Manager a number of plug-ins are added to Service Manager to provide quick access to the CI Graphical Explorer from Service Manager Requests and Assets.
