You can select from different layout options for your Dependency Views
map.

## Before you begin

Role required: none

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllDependency ViewsView Map.
2. Select one of the following layout options from the menu across the top of the view.  
   * Vertical: Displays the elements in a vertical tree pattern according to their upstream and downstream relationships. This is the default value for the initial display of the map.
   * Horizontal: Displays the elements in a horizontal tree pattern according to their upstream and downstream relationships.
   * Radial: Displays the elements in a radial pattern according to their upstream and downstream relationships.
   * Force: Centers the elements around the parent CI, regardless of upstream or downstream relationships.
   * Group: Groups the elements according to their CI type.
   * Details: Displays related alerts, incidents, problems, and related services.

     Related Services displays application services related to
     the CIs currently displaying in the map. If Event Management is
     activated then technical services and manual services are included.
     You can double-click a service to display the map in the Event
     Management dashboard.
