# Grid configuration

# Grid configuration in BIA dependency assessment {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Brazil  
Updated September 10, 2026

Grid configuration for column display helps you to capture specific columns in the dependency grid that corresponds to an element.

A grid configuration defines which columns and fields appear in the dependency grid of a Business Impact Analysis (BIA) dependency assessment. The dependency grid lists the assets, configuration items, locations, or third-party
suppliers that a critical business process depends on. It groups them so that evaluators can review the components supporting that process. Configuring the grid ensures that planners and managers see the asset attributes relevant
to each dependency type, such as criticality. This visibility helps them set recovery time objectives (RTO) and recovery point objectives (RPO).

Set up these configurations to display the desired columns in each dependency group grid by selecting the fields from the configuration table.
