# Change the layout of Dependency Views map

You can select from different layout options for your Dependency Views map.

## Before you begin

Role required: none

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Dependency Views** > **View Map**.

2.  Select one of the following layout options from the menu across the top of the view.

    -   **Vertical**: Displays the elements in a vertical tree pattern according to their upstream and downstream relationships. This is the default value for the initial display of the map.
    -   **Horizontal**: Displays the elements in a horizontal tree pattern according to their upstream and downstream relationships.
    -   **Radial**: Displays the elements in a radial pattern according to their upstream and downstream relationships.
    -   **Force**: Centers the elements around the parent CI, regardless of upstream or downstream relationships.
    -   **Group**: Groups the elements according to their CI type.
    -   **Details**: Displays related alerts, incidents, problems, and related services.

        **Related Services** displays application services related to the CIs currently displaying in the map. If Event Management is activated then technical services and manual services are included. You can double-click a service to display the map in the Event Management dashboard.
