We do not use the World or TopOrg views. We have things listed in Universe then broken down by Country, then State, then City, then Building or location, and even gone further into Windows servers and Unix Servers. This has served us well. When an application "view" is needed, we create a global collection and give them permissions to that collection.

When creating topology views for your customers, what criteria do you use to determine the most appropriate view to develop? I've been in environments where everything was in the Universe while World and TopOrg were left empty. I've also been in environments where there were devices in all of these views. I know that devices in the Universe can be copied to World and/or TopOrg and displayed there. I was just wondering from a best practice perspective what are your considerations prior to locating devices that have been modeled in a fresh environment. In other words, when building the views how do you factor in ip addresses, physical location of devices, geography, etc. Especially as it pertains to environments where there are multiple landscapes. Thanks.
