A.6.4 Network Map Edit Menu
Use the Edit menu and toolbar buttons to customize your Network Map. Choose the Enable Drag toolbar button to enable drag and drop functionality and easily display network partitioning. Other Edit menu options allow you to enable the display of off-view icons, change geographic backgrounds for the selected view, select a layout format for the icons, adjust the zoom level, or choose icons to represent specific nodes.
Note Use the File > Save as Default menu option to save your customizations (map background, node icons, and x and y coordinates) as the default map view. The Save as Default option is disabled for the root or Cisco MGM domain node. By default, the customized map background and node icons are saved on your local workstation under <client_install_directory>/images/mapbkgnds/custom/default and <client_install_directory>/images/mapicons/custom/default.
Note Use the File > Revert to Default menu option to revert your map customizations.
You can choose whether multiple windows or a single window are used for navigation:
Step 1 In the Network Map window, choose Edit > User Preferences.
Step 2 In the Map Preferences tab, check the Open Network Map in New Window check box to open a new window for subsequent map views, or leave the check box unchecked to open subsequent map frames in the same window.
Step 3 Click OK.
If an NE has a link defined to an NE on a different map, the off-view NE is represented by an off-view icon. The off-view icon serves as a hyperlink to the map that contains the NE at the opposite end of the link. Off-view icons are used only for links that terminate on an NE; off-view icons are not used for groups. You can enable or disable the display of off-view icons in the Network Map, as follows:
Note Link colors and NE alarm colors are identical.
Step 1 Choose Edit > User Preferences.
Step 2 In the Map Preferences tab, check the Show Off View Icons check box to show off-view icons in the Network Map, or leave the check box unchecked to hide off-view icons.
