Service Mapping - link map to map

[midjoule]

Hello community,

It might be a misunderstanding from our side, but we are wondering if it's possible (or desirable) to link a map to another map, somehow. For instance, can we link a "login" or "authentication" map to many other "application" maps ? Or doesn't it make any sense ?

Best regards

Hi @midjoule

you can link the maps, yes. There are two nice ways to achieve a Map-to-Map connection:

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:
   

Tell me what you think @midjoule.
