HP Netsight manual Type

	Creating Network Maps
Type	This column indicates the source document’s type; if a link is
	selected this will also display in the Type field.
Update	Indicates whether the appearance of the object in the map will
	be automatically or manually updated to reflect changes to the
	source document; if a link is selected, this will also be
	indicated by the Automatic or Manual Update radio buttons
	at the bottom of the window.

NOTE

Remember, the Update state of a link determines how it appears in the map — and does not correspond to the version of the source document that is accessed via the linked object. Opening the source document through the link will always open its last saved version.

To determine whether the object’s appearance will be updated automatically or manually:

1.Click to highlight the desired link object in the panel.

2.Click on the appropriate radio button option at the bottom of the window: Automatic or Manual:

If you select Automatic, the appearance of the link object in the map will be updated each time the source document is updated and saved.

If you select Manual, you determine when to update the appearance of the link by clicking on Update Now. Each time this button is clicked, the object’s appearance will be revised to reflect the latest saved version of the source document.

To open the source document for a link, so that you can edit its data:

1.Click to highlight the desired link object in the panel.

2.Click on Open Source. The source document will open in the application that created it. When you close the source application window, you will be returned directly to the map window.

To change a link’s reference to a source document, so that opening the object will link to a newly specified file path or name (in case the source document was moved or renamed, or if you simply want to reference a different document via the link):

1.Click to highlight the desired link object in the panel.

2.Click on Change Source. A Change Source window displays, in which you can browse your directory tree to select a new file reference.
