task brazil Updated Sep 10, 2026 1 min read unified-map-cfg-levels-on-maps.md

Configure the default or maximum number of levels on maps. These are general settings that only sn_cmdb_admin can configure.

Before you begin

Set the application scope in your instance to CMDB Workspace.

Role required: sn_cmdb_admin

About this task

Admins can set default and maximum levels using the unifiedmap.map_search_filter.default_levels or unifiedmap.map_search_filter.max_levels property in the workspace-specific [sn_cmdb_ws_config_property] table.

These workspace-specific configuration settings affect all users of the CMDB Unified Map page. The settings don't affect other copies of the Unified Map template. Non-admin users can customize some aspects of their personal experience with Unified Map, but can't configure instance-wide workspace-specific settings.

Procedure

Navigate to All and then, in the filter box in the main navigation bar, enter sn_cmdb_ws_config_property.list.
Select the unifiedmap.map_search_filter.default_levels or unifiedmap.map_search_filter.max_levels property, as needed.
Select New or select the configuration identifier to update and then fill in the form.

Field	Description
Config identifier	Unique name of the configuration identifier that specifies the settings for the current workspace. Note: The base system includes a configuration identifier named Default that specifies the default settings for Unified Map.
Name	The name of the property that you're updating: unifiedmap.map_search.max_nodes.
Value	Maximum count of nodes that are loaded when a map in this workspace opens.
UX application	The top-level UX Application ID to which this configuration applies. This is the application ID of your workspace. This value is referenced from the record associated with the Config identifier setting.

4. Select **Submit** or **Update**.

The updated settings appear in the appropriate related list on the Configuration identifier form, as described in [Configuring Unified Map — admin settings](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/servicenow-platform/unified-map/administer-unified-map.md).
