The Topology Builder Console is divided into two panels: a topology tree panel (left panel) and a topology graphical display panel (right panel). The topology tree panel contains a Topology tab and a Groups tab.

The topology tree of the Topology tab shows the business-related topology of the attached Global Manager. The topology tree of the Groups tab shows the hierarchical group business-related topology of the attached Global Manager. Clicking the plus sign next to a topology element class shows the topology elements associated with the class. Clicking a topology element launches a graphical topology representation—a Business Services map—in the right panel of the console.

To display a list of nodes (graphical representations of elements) and edges (graphical representations of relationships and connections) that may appear in a graphical topology representation, select Map > Map Legend in the Topology Builder Console.
