Arrange the CIs in a Service Model by Layers

Search for	Example	Results
A single word	`cat`	Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats".
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase.	`"cat food"` (quotation marks)	Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase.

Search for	Operator	Example
Two or more words in the same topic	`AND` `and` `+` (plus symbol) `&` (ampersand)	`cat AND dog` `"cat food"+milk` `"cat food"&"dog food"`
Either word in a topic	`OR` `or` `\|` (pipe)	`cat OR dog` `cat \| dog`
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase	`NOT` `not` `!` (exclamation point)	`NOT cat` `! dog`
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another	`^` (caret)	`cat ^ mouse`
A combination of search types	`( )` parentheses	`cat + (dog \| mouse)` `cat \| dog + (! mouse)`

You can arrange the CIs displayed in the topology graph by layers, according to the layer attribute that is assigned to the CIT.

In the Service Modeling dashboard, click an existing service model.

Click the Change Layout icon in the map toolbar at the left bottom of the window, and from the Layout drop-down list, select Swimlanes: layer.

When you hover the mouse over a layer, the layer's label is displayed and the layer is emphasized.

To group CIs by CITs and also arrange them by layers, from the Layout drop-down list, select Layers, and from the Group by drop-down list, select CI Type.
