Predefined Folders and Views

The Views tree in the Resources tab of the CI Selector in the Modeling Studio includes predefined folders and views, as described in the following sections:

Predefined Folders

The hierarchical file folder system in the CI Selector can help you organize your views. Predefined folders are provided for the out-of-the-box views; you can modify these folders, or add additional folders according to your organization's requirements.

Factory Views

Your Universal CMDB installation includes out-of-the-box pattern views, templates, and perspectives. These views provide a quick start for working with the CMDB.

The out-of-the-box views are initially empty. As soon as CIs are added to the CMDB by one of the CI generators, the TQL query built into each pattern view is able to identify the CIs that meet the pattern requirements, and add them to the view.

Views for CIs are created when a discovery process is run; the out-of-the-box views that are provided correspond to the relevant Universal Discovery packages. For example, the Oracle view (Root > Database > Oracle > Oracle) is populated with CIs that are created when Data Flow Management activates the Database - Oracle module. For details on running DFM, see How to Run Module/Job-based Discovery.

Some of the out-of-the-box views are considered basic to the system and cannot be deleted from the folders.

Note Out-of-the-box database views can be used for reporting as long as you perform read-only operation. For more details, see Use OOTB Database Views for Reporting.

Predefined Perspectives

Universal CMDB also provides out-of-the-box perspectives. One example is the Content Only perspective, which includes only the elements of the view content itself, without any additional CIs.
