# Working in Unified Map

Unified Map presents a graphical display of CMDB CIs and the connections between to enable powerful insights.

## Opening a map

Use any of the following methods to open Unified Map:

-   Navigate to **All** > **Service Graph Workspace** > **Unified Map**.
-   Navigate to **All** > **CMDB Workspace** > **Unified Map**.
-   While working in the Service Graph Workspace, select **Use Unified Map to view CI relationships** in the Recommended tools section.
-   While working in the CMDB Workspace, select **Unified Map** in the Quick Links section.
-   On a CI form for any CI in an **operational** state, select **Open Map** to open a map with the CI as the home node.

    **Note:** An admin can specify additional *operational status* values for this option. For more information, see [Configure CIs to appear based on life cycle stage value](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/servicenow-platform/unified-map/unified-map-confg-operational-state.md).


**Tip:** To view a map in full-screen mode, select the Unpin All icon.
