Introduction to Asset Navigator
The Asset Navigator provides a graphical representation of relationships between assets based on most common use cases. The graphical asset navigator in CentraSite Business UI helps you to easily navigate and visualize the dependencies between assets for various use cases. Several use cases for navigation are provided out of the box to allow for analysis of the runtime deployment landscape, organization structure or dependencies to or from particular assets. The asset navigator can be extended through saved searches. This feature helps you to:
*Understand dependencies between assets
*Visualize your runtime landscape and deployment information
*Understand your versioning and consumption history of services
*Get an organization chart of your organization structure in CentraSite
You can view the information based on the use case requirements. For example, you can visualize the information based on the Global Usecases or the Asset Specific Usecases.
*Global Usecases include use cases such as Organization Structure and Runtime Landscape view.
*Asset Specific Usecases include use cases such as Asset Dependency, Asset Usage, and so on.
