Below we have the application service where you can see it is being Consumed By the business service SuccessFactors and being Used by other applications and Service offerings. I wanted to understand the difference between the two.

Hi @Passion_of_SNOW 

  • Consumed by = "This CI provides something that another CI uses."
    → The other CI is consuming a service, resource, or function from this CI.
    → Think: “I’m the provider, they’re the consumer.”

  • Used by = "This CI depends on another CI to work."
    → This CI is using a resource or service from another CI.
    → Think: “I’m the consumer, they’re the provider.”
