Accessing maps
This section describes
alternative methods for accessing individual maps and how to navigate among
maps.
In addition to the different
methods for opening available consoles (Chapter 2, “Starting a
Session,”), you can access a map using the
Show
Map
option from any existing console. Show Map functionality opens
the Map Console and displays the default map for the selected element. Show Map
is available as a button in some secondary window and dialog boxes or as a menu
option for selected notifications. For example:
- TheShow Mapbutton appears in theFind InstanceandFind Systemdialog boxes. (The button is activated when you select a row in the table.)
- The Show Map option appears in theEventmenu or the shortcut menu if you right-click on a selected notification.
- Use theShow Mapbutton on the toolbar to display a default type of map for a selected summary. Show Map is enabled if a topological filter is specified for the summary. “Filtering summaries” on page 108 contains additional information.If the Map Console is open, these options display the selected map in the currently open Map Console. A second Map Console does not open.
