Set up your Data Foundations advisor dashboard by selecting principal classes to define the Data Foundations scope in CMDB success advisor.

Avant de commencer

Role required: sn_cmdb_admin

Remarque :

In addition to the sn_cmdb_admin role, the pa_data_collector role is required to view the last updated data timestamp on the dashboard and pa_viewer is required to filter data by principal classes.

Pourquoi et quand exécuter cette tâche

The Data Foundations scope defines which principal classes CMDB success advisor monitors. When a CI class is included in the Data Foundations advisor dashboard scope, the class is automatically marked as a principal class, which means it appears in CI selection filters on incident, change, and problem forms.

For guidance on choosing the right classes, see the Guidance on designating principal classes in the CMDB [KB2707240] article in the Now Support Knowledge Base.

1. On the CMDB success advisor landing page, select Select principal classes.
