Re: [nv-l] Map Layout by Application

Hi Jim-

What about making a SmartSet containing all of these objects?  Another option could be to use the scoping option on the web console security feature to scope users requiring access to only see the print components somehow but the SmartSet solution would probably be simpler.

We have always laid out our NetView map based on location.  We do use container
objects
to simplify things, but these are typically cities or buildings. We've received
a request for a view
of all the components of our printing subsystem. This view would include all of
the central servers,
distributed print servers, fax servers and some critical printers, and, all of
the networks that
connect them. He'd also prefer that it be possible to link to this view from a
web page. Leaving
that last requirement aside for the moment, we can think of two ways to do this:

1. A second NetView map - we have always avoided this option because of the
complications
     involved in maintaining multiple maps.
2. A new container object into which the selected components can be COPIED and
pasted.
    We tried this approach. It appears that the copied objects appear on the
"User" plane
    and do not show any connections to each other.

So how can we give this guy his application view?  Any suggestions?
