Configure a Map

After a map is configured in the Map Editor module, it can be viewed in Management > Maps.

1. To add hardware or access points to the map, expand the Devices or Device Groups tree, then select and drag each item to the point on the map which corresponds to its physical location.

2. Plot device commands that are associated to the mapped devices or device groups by expanding the Commands tree, then select and drag each command to its representational location.

   • Note: Each item category can be added to separate layers. This allows certain categories to be hidden from view. To hide a layer, right-click the layer icon (located on the left side of the layer title) or right-click the map, then select Toggle Layer Visibility.

3. Select the device type which the command will run against from the Device tree, then select and drag the command to the map.

4. To add a device or device group by using a device command, select the device type from the Device tree and drag it to the desired location on the map. Open the Commands section, then select and drag the command into the map. Configure the command as needed.

   • Note: Separate layers can be used in order to hide device commands from view.

5. Once the devices are selected in the Command section, select Choose and select the command the device should execute. If the command requires a parameter, select Choose to select the parameter.

6. Select OK to save and add the device command to the map.

7. To map locations, open the Locations tree, then select and drag hierarchical locations to the map.

8. If the graphic map should be associated with a location, right-click the map and select Edit Map Properties Under the Location field, select a location.

9. Select OK to save the map properties and close the window.
