What recommendation is appropriate if users are overwhelmed by Configuration Item options on Incident, Problem, and Change forms?

When users are faced with an overwhelming number of Configuration Item (CI) options on Incident, Problem, and Change forms, utilizing the Principal CI class checkbox is a highly effective recommendation. This checkbox allows the system to prioritize and filter the view of CIs presented to users, showcasing only the most relevant items based on the context of the task at hand. By doing this, users can focus on the specific CIs that matter for their current work rather than sorting through an extensive list that may include irrelevant items.

This approach enhances user experience by reducing clutter and potential confusion, making it easier for them to select the correct CIs when logging incidents, addressing problems, or managing changes. The Principal CI class effectively streamlines the user interface and increases efficiency in IT service management processes.

Implementing other options, while they may have their merits, does not directly address the overwhelming nature of the CI list in the same straightforward manner. For instance, adding a Show field or creating access controls could complicate the user interface further or introduce additional complexity. A show/hide UI action may offer some control but does not inherently simplify the options or improve relevance as effectively as the Principal CI class checkbox does.
