| - | Starting on the left navigation bar, your presented with a: | + | The left navigation bar has options for filtering and controlling the behaviour of the map. |
| + | === Searchbox === | ||
| + | This searches for the name of a netbox and centers the map on it. If the search hits several netboxes the map will center on the first. | ||
| - | === Searchbox === | + | === Zoom to extent === |
| - | Type in part of the sysname of the box your looking for, it run loop thru it dataset and stop on the first match it hits and fetch it's graph position and translate the node to be centered in the graph. At the moment the search is quite simple, but in the _future_ it will have support for finding the bounding box for all matches and translate the bounding box to it's view port and set correct zoom level. Zoom to extent will try it's best to position the bounding box for the whole graph in the center of the view port and scale out so you can see it. A tip is to just click it a few times so it gets it right ;-) (or wait for the layout algorithm to finish) | + | Zoom to extent will try to position the whole graph in the center of the view port and scale out so you can see it. |

| - | You can run filters on the loaded network topology graph, pr. default the GSW,GW,SW,OTHER,WLAN,SRV, and EDGE categories are selected on by default. Here you can deactivate active filters, and nodes of the deactivated filters will disappear. You can toggle this filters back and forth without having to reload the network topology graph, it will only 'bounce' the layout algorithm to make sure the nodes aren't colliding. | + | Choose what categories of netboxes you want to see. |

| - | As you play around with filters, or NAV 'topology analyzer' ([[http://nav.uninett.no/backendprocesses#ipdevpoll|ipdevpoll]] / [[http://nav.uninett.no/backendprocesses#topology|topology]]) there is certain to render single instance nodes which is nodes who has no relations to any other nodes in the current state of active filters. Here you have the option to disable or enable em. | + | * **Filter orphans**: Uncheck this to hide nodes with no links to other nodes. |
| - | + | * **Mark by position**: Mark nodes that are located in the same room or location. This is shown by drawing a red circle around the nodes who are related to the selected node. | |
| - | === Mark by position === | + | * **Pause force algorithm**: Pause the layout algorithm by clicking the button. A green icon indicates active algorithm, a red an inactive algorithm. Resume it by drag and dropping a node, unfix a node, unfix all nodes or clicking the button again. |
| - | + | * **Fix or unfix all nodes**: Set all nodes to fixed or unfixed. Fixed nodes will not move when running the algoritm. | |
| - | Option to mark other related nodes that are either located in the same room or location. This is shown by drawing a red circle around the nodes who are related to the selected node. | + | |

| - | If your on either running a old version of Firefox (known to have poor javascript performance in our experience) or equipped with a «bad computer from the past», you have a option to pause the layout algorithm here. | + | |

| - | * Show topology errors, option to render network topology errors like a link between two netboxes who doesn't run on the same interface speed which might cause network congestion etc | + | * **Show topology errors**: for instance mark links with differing speed set on the netbox inerfaces |
| - | + | * **Mouseover options**: Enable or disable auto selection when hovering a link or node. This can also be toggled with the keyboard shortcuts «n» or «l» (lowercase of L). | |
