Specifying the business view for a CI classification

Edit online

When you view the topology, you can specify the detailed view or the business view.

About this task

The detailed view shows all related CIs of all types. The business view shows a subset of all CI types, based on whether the associated CI classification specifies showing in the business view. By default, CI types such as application servers and services show in the business view. You can select or clear the Show in business view check box to control whether a CI type shows in this view.

Note: You can also use Deployer's Workbench to specify whether a CI type is shown in the business view. For details, see the information that was installed with Deployer's Workbench.
