Create a class profile of visible layers for classes
Configure a class profile that specifies which layers should appear for a particular class: application, service instance, business, or infrastructure. For example, you can configure that the mapped application service (service instance) [cmdb_ci_service_discovered] class should display only Service Mapping data and not infrastructure elements.
Before you begin
Set the application scope in your instance to CMDB Workspace.
Role required: sn_cmdb_admin
About this task
These workspace-specific configuration settings affect all users of the CMDB Unified Map page. The settings don't affect other copies of the Unified Map template. Non-admin users can customize some aspects of their personal experience with Unified Map, but can't configure instance-wide workspace-specific settings.
Class profiles let you configure the Layers filter. Several common classes such as the mapped application service (service instance) [cmdb_ci_service_discovered] class are preconfigured with class profiles.
Class profiles are applied when no filter preset is used for the current map. This typically happens when you load a map without a filter preset or when you set the filter preset to Default view.
Procedure
Navigate to All and then, in the search box on the main navigation bar, enter
sn_cmdb_ws_node_map_profiles.list.The Node Map Profiles table lists all classes for which the Layers property is set.
Select an existing record or select New and then fill in the form.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Config identifier | Unique name of the configuration identifier that specifies the settings for the current workspace. Note: The base system includes a configuration identifier named Default that specifies the default settings for Unified Map. |
| Layers | Layers value to apply when the map opens with a home node that is in the class specified by the CMDB CI class setting.
|
| CMDB CI class | Class of CI that this profile applies to. Whenever a map opens with a home node of the specified class, the Layers values are applied. |
| Orientation | - Vertical layout: Displays nodes in a vertical tree pattern: upstream relationships top and downstream bottom. This is the default layout for displaying mapped application services and service instances. In the toolbox, select the Vertical layout icon Image omitted: icon-um-vertical-layout.png . - Force layout: Displays nodes in a clustered arrangement around the home node, regardless of upstream or downstream relationships. In the toolbox, select the Force layout icon No alternative text supplied Image omitted: icon-um-force-layout.png .No alternative text supplied |
| UX application | The top-level UX Application ID to which this configuration applies. This is the application ID of your workspace. This value is referenced from the record associated with the Config identifier setting. |
| Active | Option to set the profile as available for use. |
Select Submit or Update.
The updated settings appear in the appropriate related list on the Configuration identifier form, as described in Configuring Unified Map — admin settings.
