Policy Widget
The Policy widget is presented only if a live Configuration Manager (CM) system is deployed in the UCMDB environment. The terminology and icons used in both the CI Overview and Widget Details modes are identical to what is used in CM. All Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and related attributes are taken from CM (that is, no calculation is performed by the CMS UI).
Note To use the Policy widget, you must have CM version 9.30 or later installed, and CP10 or later installed on the UCMDB server.
CI Overview Mode
This mode displays the selected CI's overall policy KPI, taken from CM, as follows:
- Overall policy compliance status: whether it is satisfied or in breach
- Overall policy compliance value (in terms of percentage, graphically presented in a bar)
- KPI description, automatically generated by the CM
For business elements, the CI overview presents the overall business policy KPI (that is, a summary of all CIs linked to the Business CI, as opposed to the CI itself). A direct link to the CM system, with the context of the selected CI, is presented in the widget.
Notifications for changes in the Policy widget are displayed only in the Notifications tab and in the widget's CI Overview mode.
Widget Details Mode
This mode adds the following details, taken from CM:
- All policies linked to the selected CI. Each policy is separated from the others by an empty space.
- For each linked policy, the policy name, compliance status, and a description are displayed.
