dependency views properties 'Maximum level depth from the root CI....' doesn't seem to work?

[klautrup]

Hi,

In our Jakarta instance I want to limit the default parent/child related CIs displayed in the BSM map (Dependency Views).

In the 'Dependency Views Properties' if I try to reduce the 'Maximum level depth from the root CI that can be initially displayed in Dependency Views. Range is 1 to 49' to '1':

Still the BSM map displays default 5 levels and I have each time to reduce it to 1:

Is this a bug, or is that property not supposed to do what I think it should do?

Greetings Kristian!

It is not a bug, but rather affecting something you were not modifying. You were setting the levels for if you click view map via the navigation menu. The map you showed though, was most likely gotten to through the related items area on a CI - and clicking the show dependency views.

You can set the limit for what users can choose in that screen via - glide.ui.max_relation_levels

And you can set the default which they have via a user preference: ecmdb.levels with a value: 2 for example.

You will want to remove all users entries, and setup a system one (via clicking the system check box) when you go to create that preference for the system.
