    Before you begin

    Role required: See general role requirements for Unified Map

    Procedure

    1. Navigate to Workspaces > CMDB Workspace.
    2. In the Quick links section in the Home view, select Unified Map.
    3. In the Search bar, search for a CI to be set as the home node for the map and then select the CI or a relationship on the map.
    4. Select Attributes (Attributes icon>) in the contextual side panel to access the Attributes module.
      The Attributes pane shows the following details:
      • For a non-group CI: The top section contains common key attributes, such as Class and Discovery source that appear for CIs of any class (other than Application Service CIs). The bottom section contains attributes that uniquely extend the CI's class in the CMDB hierarchy.
      • For a group CI: The top card shows attributes of the group CI and underneath, the Configuration items section contains cards showing attributes for each of the group member CIs.
      • For a single relationship: A card with the attributes for the selected relationship.
      • For a multi-relationship badge: A card for each of the relationships in the relationship set, showing the attributes for the relationship. The number of cards is equal to the number on the relationship badge, which is a count of the different types of relationships between the two CIs, in the same direction. Relationship connections are based on records in the CI Relationship [cmdb_rel_ci] table.

    What to do next

    In a CI card in the Applications pane, select the Actions menu and then select any of the following options:
    • View CI details to open the CI form for the CI.
    • Open in new map to open an additional map with the current CI set as the home node.
    • Set CI as home to set the selected CI as the new home node for the map.

    Select a mapped application service CI on the map to show its entry points in the Attributes pane.
