Configure Properties to be Displayed by the Properties Widget

You can configure attributes of CI Types to be either displayed or not displayed by the Properties widget, and determine whether an attribute appears in CI Overview mode and in which properties group it appears in Widget Details mode, as follows:

1. In UCMDB, go to Modeling > CI Type Manager.
2. In the list of CI Types on the left, choose the CI Type with the attribute(s) that you want to configure.
3. Select the Attributes tab in the editor on the right.

4. In the list of attributes, double-click on the attribute that you want to configure.

   The Edit Attribute window appears.

5. In the Edit Attribute window, click the UCMDB Browser Qualifiers tab and do one of the following:

   • To hide an attribute:

     Select Hide in Properties Widget.

     Note If you select Hide in Properties Widget, make sure that CMS Browser Visible is not also selected. Otherwise, notifications may appear for attributes that are not visible.

   • To display an attribute:

     Select CMS Browser Visible.

6. If you checked CMS Browser Visible in the previous step, set the following properties:

   • View in preview mode: From the drop-down list, chose True if you want the attribute to appear in the CI overview, or False if you do not want it to appear in CI Overview mode.

   • Properties group assignment: From the drop-down list, choose the properties group (Core, Complementary or Additional) in which you want this attribute to appear in Widget Details mode.

7. Click OK.
