You can modify the configurations to suit your requirements.
1. Use Cases: You can configure the different use cases to view the assets and also specify the default chart for that object. For example,

applicableChartTypes="SunBurst,TreeChart,Icicle">
INMCL_USECASE_ORG</UseCase>
<UseCase id="RuntimeLandscapeView"
rootQueryId="getRootForRuntimeLandscapeview"
