If Operational Intelligence is activated, then a Dependency Views map provides a mode that lets you directly access metrics information for the CIs on the map.\n\n## Before you begin\n\nRole required: dependency\\_views \\(see general requirements\\)\n\nGeneral role requirements:\n\n-   To access a Dependency Views map from either the navigation menu, a script API, or directly from a URL, the minimum role required is the dependency\\_views. Some operations that are related to icons, indicators, and menu actions require the ecmdb\\_admin role. Some operations that are related to properties and dependency types require the sn\\_cmdb\\_admin or admin role.\n-   Dependency Views enforces ACL permissions on CIs, and visually hides them and their relationship from the map if the permission requirement is not met.\n\n## About this task\n\nThe maps generated by Dependency Views are based on D3 and Angular technology, providing a modern interactive graphical interface to visualize configuration items and their relationships.\n\nIf Service Mapping is activated, Dependency Views maps are enhanced to display dependencies that reflect connections in service maps. In addition, the list of related services in the **Details** section, includes application services, and technical and manual services if Event Management is activated. All CIs that are included in a service, are displayed underneath the service node on the map.\n\nMaps provided by Service Mapping are for application services, including comprehensive maps from the perspective of application services. For more information, see [Service Mapping](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/it-operations-management/c_ServiceMappingOverview.md).\n\nAdministrators can configure the setting for the default layout of the map and number of levels displayed. When you access the map from a saved view, the map opens using the properties in the saved view, and not the default map properties.\n\n## Procedure\n\n1.  Navigate to **All** > **Dependency Views** and open one of these modules:\n\n    -   **View Map in New Tab**: Opens the map in a new, full screen tab without the application navigator.\n    -   **View Map**: Opens the map in the content pane of the current tab.\n    -   **Saved Views**: Opens a view of a map that you previously saved.\n\n        Click a number in the **Version** column, and then click the Display Dependency Views map icon \\(\\[Omitted image \"IconBSMMap.png\"\\] Alt text: Display Dependency Views map.\\).\n\n\n**Parent Topic:**[Use Dependency Views](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/servicenow-platform/dependency-views/p_UseNGBSM.md)\n\n**Related topics**  \n\n\n[Save or load a Dependency Views map]()\n\n[Delete a saved Dependency Views map view]()\n\n[Change the layout of Dependency Views map]()\n\n[Filter the view of a Dependency Views map]()\n\n[Perform actions on nodes in a Dependency Views map]()\n\n[Export a Dependency Views map]()\n\n[View collapsed nodes in a Dependency Views map]()\n\n"}}
