Product catalog hierarchy visualization
As a product catalog admin or manager, you can view the complete hierarchy of a product offering and any associated specifications (product, service, and resource). Use these views to verify that all entities have been defined and associated correctly.
For product offerings that have associated specifications, you can toggle the hierarchical view of the product offering to show its specification hierarchy. The hierarchical specification view shows the services that enable the product to be realized and the resources that are required to deliver those services. This view helps you visualize different aspects of a product offering, to validate the product and determine that the supporting services and resources are designed as needed. The hierarchy also highlights any relationships between specifications.
To view the product catalog hierarchy in the CSM Configurable Workspace, in the List view navigate to . Select a product offering, then select the Catalog Hierarchy tab. Use the Show specification toggle to switch between the product offering and specification hierarchical views.
The toggle legend identifies the product offering and specification icons displayed in the visualization. Similar to the selection of specification nodes, when you select any product offer node, the side panel displays the high-level details of the product offer. You can use the filter to select a node and display the hierarchy under the node rather than the whole tree.
