When you display a Dependency Views map using one of the options below, the map is
centered on the root CI, and displays the layout and number of levels defined in the map
properties. If Operational Intelligence is activated, then a Dependency Views map provides a
mode that lets you directly access metrics information for the CIs on the map.
The maps generated by Dependency Views are based on D3 and Angular technology,
providing a modern interactive graphical interface to visualize configuration items
and their relationships.
If Service Mapping is activated, Dependency Views maps are enhanced to display
dependencies that reflect connections in service maps. In addition, the list of
related services in the Details section, includes application
services, and technical and manual services if Event Management is activated.
All CIs that are included in a service, are displayed
underneath the service node on the map.
Maps provided by Service Mapping are for application services, including
comprehensive maps from the perspective of application services. For more
information, see Service Mapping.
Administrators can configure the setting for the default layout of the map and number
of levels displayed. When you access the map from a saved view, the map opens using
the properties in the saved view, and not the default map properties.
