All related applications are optional, so they aren't required to use the DPM experience. ## Data Sources {#dpm-related-products__section_rx4_13d_d5b} By design, DPM offers a broad reach of data sources to give you a high-level view of information that impacts your solutions. Its data sources reach across hundreds of data elements across more than 70 tables, as well as many indicators. This expansive reach gives you a broad perspective of items that may influence your solutions. DPM has three main data sources: * Record and field lookups, either in direct configuration in UIB or in data brokers. The lookups are listed in the data sources Excel file that you can download from [KB1123710](https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB1123710). * Needs attention attributes are from data brokers. For more information, see [KB1519343](https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB1519343). * Performance Analytics indicators, data collection jobs, and key performance indicator (KPI) groups. {#dpm-related-products__ul_eb4_k3s_fzb} For an overview on how DPM aligns with the Common Service Data Model (CSDM), see [Apply the CSDM guidelines to Digital Portfolio Management](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/7u4tt4f~Hek2Vp7DSmZ2Gg "Service data relates to each other using different applications and in different ways. Digital Portfolio Management (DPM) references the Common Service Data Model (CSDM) framework to bring service-related data together in a single view."). To view details on the Digital Portfolio Management data sources including data elements, source tables, fields, and required plugins, see [KB1123710](https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB1123710), and select the option to Download the Data Sources Excel File. ## Enterprise portfolios {#dpm-related-products__section_ev4_bvb_cyb} Since the Utah release, you can install the enterprise portfolio plugin \[enterprise portfolio\] that's available as part of the core ServiceNow AI Platform. Installing the plugin installs two new roles: * The enterprise portfolio admin \[sn_ep.enterprise_portfolio_admin\] can create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) enterprise portfolios. * The enterprise portfolio viewer \[sn_ep.enterprise_portfolio_viewer\] can read enterprise portfolios. Installing the enterprise portfolio plugin results in the following: * The DPM admin role inherits the enterprise portfolio admin role. * The DPM manager role inherits the enterprise portfolio viewer role. {#dpm-related-products__ul_otm_4vb_cyb} {#dpm-related-products__ul_dnr_kvb_cyb} ## Services and service offerings {#dpm-related-products__section_rjx_t3d_d5b} Note: Your data view in DPM is the same as what your product license permits from the application that you pull data from (standard or pro). {#dpm-related-products__table_arq_5zx_rrb__entry__4} | To see in DPM | Required installs | Required roles | Use cases | |-|-|-|-| | * Contextual side panel * Needs attention {#dpm-related-products__ul_lr1_wcy_rrb} | There are no special installs required to use the contextual side panel or to see items that need attention. | DPM Manager \[sn_dpm.dpm_manager\] | * Use the contextual side panel to navigate to portfolios and list modules in DPM. * See items that need attention based on criticality. {#dpm-related-products__ul_ttk_nrz_gsb} | | Plan tab | To see roadmap data: Install the plugin for Strategic Planning: com.sn_align_ws To see improvement initiatives: Install the plugin for ServiceNow® Continual Improvement Management com.sn_cim To see demand data: Install plugins for Demand Management: idea_core, dmn_demand, and pm_project | For Strategic Planning: * sn.align_ws * sn_align_core. apw_user * sn_align_core.apw_admin * sn_roadmap_plng.roadmap_editor {#dpm-related-products__ul_wtr_rpf_2sb} For Continual Improvement Management and demands: DPM Manager \[sn_dpm.dpm_manager\] | * Select View roadmap to launch Strategic Planning to view roadmap details in the context of the selected service or service offering. * You can edit roadmaps with the sn_roadmap_plng.roadmap_editor role. * Use Continual Improvement Management to see ideas and improve processes across services and service offerings. * Create demands on your services and service offerings in DPM. {#dpm-related-products__ul_snr_2xc_nsb} | | Build tab | To see roadmap data: Install the plugin for Strategic Planning: com.sn_align_ws To see project data: Install the plugin for Project Portfolio Management com.snc.financial_planning_pmo To see changes: No required install.
