Groups of devices on the network interactions map

Groups belonging to the device group tree may be collapsed or expanded on the network interactions map. Collapsed groups are displayed as icons similar to nodes. Expanded groups are displayed as windows containing their embedded nodes and other groups.

Displayed information on collapsed groups

If a group is collapsed, the following information is displayed when the network interactions map is maximized:

• Group name.
• Number of devices that satisfy the current filter settings on the network interactions map. This number includes devices within the group and within its child groups in all nesting levels.
• Number of child groups in all nesting levels.

If a group contains devices or links with issues (including in child groups of any nesting level), the border of this group is colored red.

Displayed information on expanded groups

The window of an expanded group contains a title with the group name and an area for displaying objects. The group window displays the devices included in this group, and the child groups of the next nesting level. Of the devices included in the group, only the devices that meet the current filter settings are displayed on the network interactions map.

If a group contains devices or links with issues (including in child groups of any nesting level), the window has a red background.

Collapsing and expanding groups

If a group is collapsed, you can expand it by double-clicking the icon of the group. If a group is expanded, you can collapse it by double-clicking the header of this group's window or by clicking the button in the header.

To simultaneously expand multiple collapsed groups:

1. On the network interactions map, select multiple collapsed groups by performing one of the following actions:
   • Hold down the SHIFT key and use your mouse to select a rectangular area containing the relevant groups.
   • Hold down the CTRL key and use your mouse to select the relevant collapsed groups.
2. Click on the toolbar located in the left part of the network interactions map display area (the button is available if at least one collapsed group is selected).

To simultaneously collapse all expanded groups:

Click on the toolbar located in the left part of the network interactions map display area (the button is available if at least one group is expanded).
