## BSM Grid View

The BSM Grid View displays Business Services that are sorted by status. A BSM with an offline state will be marked with a red colour and will be positioned at the start of the grid.

A typical BSM will show the user information including status, availability, and operational details of the business service.

If the window is resized or there are a large number of business services you will notice that all the tiles are fitted to the view.

When space gets limited only certain information will be removed so all the business services can be viewed all in one view.

The page shows a detailed view of the selected Business Service and its Components including Status, Availability, Impacted and Acknowledgement states. This view also shows the Operational Zone of each Component as a grey box, allowing you to see how and why a particular Component is impacted.

By clicking on the Business Service the contextual menu will show actions that can be carried, such as Schedule Downtime, Re-Check and Acknowledge. The resulting change to the hosts will be visible on the next refresh of the page.
