How to build a service map from other service maps?

[Peter R1]

Our goal is to build a service map for one of our business services named 'Service123'.

We use  AWS as our environment and all resources are tagged per 'application'. We have 10 applications tagged and I was able to turn those into a Tagged service with it's service map.

Now, those 10 applications are supporting that one service named 'Service123'. How do I combine those 10 service maps into one bigger service map?

What is the best practice approach for this?

1. Manually add a connection
   
   
   This approach will ask you to enter the details from an entry point, like you would create a new Application Service. This would add all the CIs from the connected Entry point. Disadvantage is that you are forced to specify a discoverable entry point.
   
   
2. Add a CI
   

   It will only as of the desired CIs:

   Here you could select the other Service and it will appear like:
