Manually changing the location of nodes and groups

You can manually change the location of nodes and groups on the network map by using the arrangement method that is most convenient for you.

After their arrangement, nodes and groups are locked (pinned) in their new location. If necessary, you can unpin these objects.

Objects that are included in groups can be moved only within the windows of these groups.

To change the location of nodes and/or collapsed groups:

  1. On the network map, select one or multiple objects representing nodes and/or collapsed groups.

    To select multiple nodes and/or collapsed groups, perform one of the following actions:

    • Hold down the SHIFT key and use your mouse to select a rectangular area containing the relevant objects.
    • Hold down the CTRL key and use your mouse to select the relevant objects.
  2. Use your mouse to drag the selected objects to the necessary location.

After they are moved, nodes and collapsed groups will remain pinned. The Pin button icon appears in these objects.

To change the location of an expanded group:

Move the cursor over the expanded group's window title, left-click and drag the window to the necessary location.
