There are three map types in nVision. This topic describes each of them and discusses their characteristics.

Map type

Description

Allowed operations

Network

The map created by the program as a representation of the discovered IP network.

nVision can periodically rescan such network and add new hosts.

Renaming is allowed, but even when renamed, the map still represents the same network.

Delete – when the network map is deleted it also deletes all hosts belonging to this network.

All other operations are allowed without limitations.

Custom

This is map created by the user. It can consist of any hosts copied or moved from any other map.

All operations are allowed without limitations.

Smart map

A smart map groups devices, which meet the specified conditions at a given moment. Smart maps are based on user-defined filters – the map is generated dynamically.

You can change the map name, but even after such a change the map shows the same network.

You cannot remove or arrange device icons. What happens at each stage?
