VC Relationship Widget
The VC Relationship widget provides performance and relationship data for objects in your virtual
environment. It uses badges to represent derived metrics and give you a high-level, broad view of the
performance and condition of your virtual environment.

Objects appear in hierarchy levels. If a badge does not have a green status, the object has a potential problem.
You can double-click a badge to see the Resource Detail page for that object.
The toolbar at the top left of the widget contains icons that you can use to change the object display.
