   {#t_FilterViewNGBSMMap__table_irc_3sy_dr__entry__2}

   | Filter panel strips and options | Description |
   |-|-|
   | Save Custom Settings | Configure desired custom settings, then enter a name and click Save. Custom settings can be loaded by using the Load Saved Custom Settings option. Navigate to Dependency ViewsSaved Settings to display all saved custom settings. |
   | Load Custom Settings | Apply previously saved custom settings to the current map. |
   | Predefined Filters | Apply [previously defined filters](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/X4ktJPx80wqF063ujpXD3A "Create filters to narrow down the CIs that are displayed on a Dependency Views map. You can create filters that are based on CIs' class, CIs' attributes, or CIs' relationships.") consisting of configuration type, CI type, and relationship filters. You can [Set a predefined filter as default](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/i0wQs32XyP~un5shT6JgDA "You can set a custom predefined filter as the default predefined filter for viewing maps."). This filter is applied first, before any other filters (such as Filter CIs by Depth) are applied. |
   | Dependency Type | Apply a filter that runs in real time and generates a custom view of a service map for a specific CI. |
   | Max Levels | Designate how many levels from the root CI display on the map. |
   | Filter CIs by Depth | Designate which levels of CI display on the map. |
   | Filter CIs by CI Type | Designate what CI types display in the map. |
   | Filter CIs By CI Location | Designate what CI locations display in the map. |
   | Filter CIs By CI Manufacturer | Designate what CI manufacturers display in the map. |
   | Filter CIs By Audit Failure | Hides CIs that failed the CMDB health staleness test. This option is available only if there are any such CIs. |
   | Filter Relationship Types | Designate what relationship types display in the map. |
   | Map Indicators | Designate what types of tasks display and get counted in the map. |
   | Remove Filtered Items | Off: Gray out filtered items on the map. On: Do not display filtered items on the map. |
   | Run Layout Automatically | On: The configured layout to the map is reapplied whenever the filter is changed. Off: The map layout remains static when the filter is changed. |
   | Fit to Screen Automatically | On: The map magnification will increase or decrease automatically to display all CIs on the map. Off: The map magnification remains unchanged when the map is reloaded. |
