Properties Widget

The Properties widget is used to present the main, general properties of the selected CI, either by means of a search result or by refocusing it. The properties presented are customized and differ for each selected CI type. CI Overview mode presents the most important properties and Widget Details mode displays additional properties. The information presented in this widget is logically connected to the selected CI and not according to the UCMDB Data Model.

To specify the properties that are displayed by this widget, see Configure Properties to be Displayed by the Properties Widget.

To display attributes with empty values (by default, attributes with empty values are not displayed), see Configure the Properties Widget to Show/Hide Empty Attributes.

You can prevent a CI's location and owner from being displayed in the Properties widget by setting the Show Location Details and Show Owner Details settings in the Infrastructure Settings Manager in UCMDB to False. By default, these settings have the value True, and the location and owner are displayed.

If the UCMDB administrator has configured a property as CMS Browser Editable, an Edit button is displayed. Click this Edit button to edit the attributes of these properties. When you are finished, click Save changes or Cancel.

Note

For Edit mode to work, the logged-in user must have RUN_DISCOVERY_AND_INTEGRATIONS permission. For details, see "Roles Manager Page" in the Administer section of the UCMDB Help.
To view the Tenant Owner and the Consumer Tenant attributes in the Properties widget , you need to have the View Tenant Assignment permission, and the attributes must be defined as CMS Browser Visible in UCMDB. To change the tenant association for a CI, you need to have the Change Tenant Association permission, and the CI's attribute must be defined as CMS Browser Editable in UCMDB.
To edit the Tenant Owner and the Consumer Tenant attributes in the UCMDB Browser module you need to have the Reassign Tenant and the View Tenant Assignment permissions, and the attributes must be defined as CMS Browser Visible and CMS Browser Editablein UCMDB.

CI Overview Mode

In this mode, for all CI types, a maximum of three properties are displayed for the selected CI. These properties are configured by the system administrator.

If an attribute value does not fit entirely in the panel (it is displayed truncated), a Show All link appears next to it. Clicking Show All displays the attribute value entirely in a pop-up window.

Note For details about the priorities that are displayed, see Configure Properties to be Displayed by the Properties Widget.

Widget Details Mode

In this mode, each property is presented on a separate line. The display is divided into three panels, as follows:

Core Properties. This panel displays the most important and valuable properties of the selected CI. For example, for a node the displayed properties could include its OS name, serial number, memory size, etc.
Complementary Properties. This panel displays other important properties for the selected CI. These properties are usually less important than the ones presented in the Core properties panel, but may still interest most UCMDB Browser users. All properties depicting the CI’s discovery process are included in this panel.
Additional Properties. This panel is configured entirely by the UCMDB administrator, and can include all other properties the Administrator thinks may interest UCMDB Browser’s users. Attributes that are defined as CMS Browser Visible but do not appear in one of the other two panels are also displayed in this panel.

The panels are presented in consecutive order and labeled with the panel name. A panel with no properties is not presented. If an attribute value does not fit entirely in the panel (it is displayed truncated), a Show All link appears next to it. Clicking Show All displays the attribute value entirely in a pop-up window.

Note For instructions on how to assign the panel in which an attribute is displayed, see Configure Properties to be Displayed by the Properties Widget.
