Working with the Map Database

The Map Selection Tree

Locate the Selection Tool on the right side of the console. If you do not see the Selection Tool, use the View/Selection Tool menu to show it. Select the first tab marked Map. The displayed Map Selection Tree shows all icon objects in the map. This includes subnets (which contain lower map levels), devices, and Goto icons. Networks and links are not shown in the Map Selection Tree.

Single-clickthe small box to the left of a subnet icon (folder icon) to open or close that sublevel in the selection tree.

Double-clickon a subnet name (right of folder icon) to open that subnet level as a Map View window (see below).

Left-clickon any object name to select that object. Use the Shift and Ctrl keys to select multiple objects.

Use the Delete key to remove selected objects.

After opening two subnet levels, select multiple device names and drag the mouse to move them from one subnet to another. Note that any attached links and networks are not moved, and links will be deleted during the move (you can re-add them manually later).

Right-click on a device icon (colored rectangle) or name to see the available right-click menus. Use these menus to edit the selected object properties, display tables, and run other custom menus.

Open a subnet tree and use the Insert/Map Object menus, or the Edit button bar to add icon objects to the subnet tree.

Each icon in the Map Selection Tree is colored according to the status of the represented object. Subnet icons (and the top level Root Subnet icon) show the highest priority color of all underlying objects.
