Reconfiguring mapsΒΆ

Network Map configuration and management functions can be accessed from the main Monitor > Network Maps page. Alternatively, the Mapping Groups and Mapping Objects pages, which can be found under Admin > Settings in the web interface, can also be used.

Map Edit mode

Settings and membership for an existing Spatial Map can be further modified by entering Map Edit mode while viewing the map. New Map Objects and Connections can also be added while this is toggled on.

Hint

While in Map Edit mode, right-clicking on an object brings up shortcuts for commonly used map editing functions.

In addition, Map Edit mode provides access to the following layout tools:

  • Manual single- or multi-object repositioning

  • Automatic object alignment

  • Object layering (bring to front, send to back, etc.)

After making changes, click the Save Map button to save the current layout and settings.

Note

To access map and object editing functions for Geographical Maps, left-click on an object or hover over the map in the tree/explorer view and click the gear icon. Objects in Geographical Maps cannot be manually repositioned.

Mapping Group/Object admin pages

Network Maps and/or Map Objects can also be configured via the Mapping Groups and Mapping Objects pages in the Admin > Settings section of the web interface.

These map management pages may be preferred when setting up or modifying multiple maps or objects without need to view the actual maps.

Important

Spatial Map object layouts can only be modified using Map Edit mode.
