1.Click on the Save All Maps button on the toolbar. or
Select File
As a safety precaution, you will always be prompted if you attempt to close a map or exit NetSight Element Manager without saving your changes.
If you attempt to save a locked map, you will be offered the option of saving a copy of the
TIP locked map. You must assign this copy a unique name, or the save will not take place.
Deleting Maps and Folders
You can delete both maps and folders via the Map View workspace, with three restrictions: you cannot delete a locked map; you cannot delete any map which is serving as the root map for one or more submaps; and you cannot delete a folder which contains one or more maps.
1.In the Map View workspace, click the right mouse button on the map or folder you wish to delete.
2.Select Delete from the resulting menu.
