Configuration Settings
The visualization types, usecases, and information for the visualization types can be configured in the centrasite.xml file available in the <SAG_HOME>\CentraSite\cast\cswebapps\BusinessUI\custom\conf folder.

You can modify the configurations available in the centrasite.xml file based on your requirements:
1. UseCases: You can configure the different usecases to view the assets and also specify the default chart for that object. For example,
<UseCases>

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