CUSTOMIZE YOUR MAPS
VMX300(-E) provides a number of tools that allow you to customize your maps:
•Place device icons on maps: Place icons representing installed devices on maps, allowing operators to control the devices by clicking
the icons. Refer to Device Icons for more information.
•Store different views of a map: Create named views that allow operators to quickly focus on a particular view of a map. Refer to Named
Views for more information.
•Define links between maps: Create hotlinks that allow an operator to load a related map or named view with a single mouse click. Refer
to Hotlinks for more information.
•Run scripts by clicking a map: Create scripts to automate common actions that operators can run by clicking a label or hotlink on a map.
Refer to Labels and Hotlinks for more information.
•Place alarm/event icons on maps: Place icons representing alarms and events on maps so operators can respond to an alarm by clicking
the icon. Refer to Alarms and Events - Alarm/Event Icons for more information.
DELETE A MAP
Deleting a map does not affect the original map file. If you change your mind after deleting a map, you can reimport the map as described in
Add a New Map.
1. Navigate the Object Browser to [project name] > Maps. In either pane, right-click the map you want to delete and select Delete from the
pop-up menu. The Confirm dialog box opens.
2. If you are sure you want to delete the map, click Yes. The selected map is deleted and the Confirm dialog box closes. The deleted map
disappears from the Object Browser. If the map was loaded when it was deleted, it disappears from the viewport.
NOTE: Deleting a map that is referred to in a script introduces an error into the script. Refer to Scripts and Expressions for more
information.
