The Map viewer generates a control map for the selected object, if applicable. To improve map generation performance and to avoid time-out issues, the maximum number of objects in a control map is set to 100. When the maximum number is reached, you need to collapse previously expanded objects so that you can expand other objects. The map provides expand and collapse buttons so you can also view objects inside container objects and other objects connected to an object. To view the properties of an object, right-click on the object, and then click Properties.
To view the control block of an object in a separate browser tab, right-click on the object, and then click View in new tab. The full set of object viewers opens in a new tab in your browser.
The objects inside a container object can be small and their labels may be difficult to read. To quickly identify an object when its label is illegible, mouse-over the object to display a tool tip that shows the name of the object. You can also zoom in to read the labels. All objects are printed as displayed.
At the top of the Map tab, the map navigator panel provides options to adjust how the control map is displayed. For example, you can use the map navigator options to select other objects connected to the currently selected object and to manipulate the view. The map navigator panel also indicates the number of objects in the map and allows you to save and reload the layout. The image in the top right allows you to identify which part of the expanded control map you are currently viewing. If objects are outside of the viewable area, click the map and drag it to view other parts of the map.
You can use filters to restrict the amount of information in the map. The map filters, available through the Edit Filters button, are defined as follows:
Inputs
Reduces the input connections displayed for the selected object. This filter does not apply to the container object.
Outputs
Reduces the outputs displayed for the selected object. This filter does not apply to the container object.
Type
Displays only the objects of the selected types.
Property
Filters the map to include only the objects that have the same property and value equal to that of the target object.
Same asset only
Displays only the objects from the same asset in the control map.
-
Maps saved using the Save Layout button have the Saved Layout indicator text next to the Reload Layout button.
-
Visio must be available on the Integrity server to generate reports from control maps. If you save a map as a Visio file and include it as a section of a report, the Visio Viewer is required to view the control map from client machines.
-
You can add a logo to maps printed to Visio. The logo can be up to 160 pixels wide. If the logo is smaller than 160 pixels wide, Integrity scales the logo to be 160 pixels. If the logo is larger than 160 pixels wide, Integrity crops the logo.
-
A Reports folder is automatically created to store control map reports. The folder is on the Integrity server in the same location as the Integrity installation folder.
