Chapter 5 Working with Prime Network Vision Maps Finding NEs, Services, and Links, and Elements Affected by Tickets

Saving Maps

By default, Prime Network Vision saves basic map information whether or not you manually save the
map. This default information includes element additions and removals, link additions and removals,
aggregations, and disaggregations. However, you must use the Save Map option if you want to retain the
following information in the database:
• Device location on the map
• Thumbnails
• Icon size
To save these changes, click Save Map Appearance in the main toolbar, then click OK. The map is
saved as an image in the directory you specified.
Finding NEs, Services, and Links, and Elements Affected by Tickets
The following topics describe how to find network elements, services, links, or elements affected by a
