Configure how to display related items on the map
Add related items categories, specify which information should appear on cards on the Unified Map Related items panel, and specify how related items (events) appear on the timeline and on badges. These are general settings that only sn_cmdb_admin can configure.

Pourquoi et quand exécuter cette tâche
These workspace-specific configuration settings affect all users of the CMDB Unified Map page. The settings do not affect other copies of the Unified Map template. Configuration settings that non-admin users can specify are described in Configure the Related items panel.
Related items are grouped by category in the Related items panel. Related items also appear for CI badges on the map and timeline.
The [sn_cmdb_ws_node_map_related_item] table contains the settings that determine which related items and associated details appear. By default, common categories of related items, such as active incidents and other events for example, are configured to appear. You add or modify records to globally manage related items on maps.
