Operations with map nodes

Most operations available for devices and groups in the Network Tree can also be performed from the network map using the context menu:

  • Select in the tree: assets selected on the map will be selected for processing in the network tree. If more than one asset is selected, the Multiple selection mode is activated.
  • Highlight links: highlights all links for the selected assets and groups.
  • Actions: allows you to edit or perform Actions on the network nodes.
  • Rescan: adds selected nodes to the Scanner.
  • Ping: checks the online status of the selected devices (may be useful when automatic checks are disabled).
  • Show in Explorer: allows you to quickly locate the selected node’s directory or file in the Storage.
  • Details: selects the node in the Network tree and opens it in the Viewer & reports mode.
  • Properties: selects a node in the Network tree and opens its properties.
  • Storage properties: opens the properties of the current Storage (available only for the map node representing the Storage root).

When selecting more than one node, only some of these operations will be available in the context menu: those that can be performed on multiple nodes.

If shapes and images are included in the same selection, operations on nodes remain available in the context menu.

If you delete a device from the network tree, all its copies and links leading to it will also be deleted on all maps.

When you manually merge two or more devices in the network tree, all copies of the merged nodes on the network maps are replaced with the node selected as the primary node during the merge, while preserving all links.
