Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Enabling Performance Analytics indicator widgets inside the form view
Why it's wrong here
PA widgets belong on dashboards and forms, not embedded directly onto the Dependency Views canvas nodes.
- ✓
Configuring CI status indicators or map decorators mapped to a custom script or condition
Why this is correct
Dependency View indicators/decorators allow badges or alert symbols to be rendered dynamically on CI nodes based on conditions.
- ✗
Creating a business rule on the cmdb_ci table that injects HTML into the map canvas
Why it's wrong here
Business rules run on server-side database DML operations and cannot directly manipulate client-side canvas widgets.
- ✗
Modifying the CMDB Class Manager icon library directly in the sys_ui_icon table
Why it's wrong here
Changing class icons changes the base class graphic, not dynamic warning badges driven by external attribute conditions.
