Hierarchical
A Hierarchical network view allows you to define floors sites and devices in a manner where a floor or
site (with floors and devices below it) is the parent object in the Network View. Further layout
refinements can also be made in respect to how devices are spaced from their deployed floor.
Concentric Radial
When selected as a main layout option, floors, sites and devices populate the
Network View cencentrically (just from the site or floor down). The concentric view
allows the display to be manipulated based on the following menu options:
Default
- Devices are connected to their deployed floor using straight lines and
with arrows.
Directed Arrows
- Devices are connected to their deployed floor using straight lines
and arrows.
Orthogonal
- Devices are connected to their deployed floor using straight (but
fractured) lines and arrows.
Bezier
- Devices are connected to their deployed floor using bezeir curves with no
arrows. Bezier curves appear reasonably smooth at points of the curve, Unlike
some other curves, bezier curves can fold over on themselves, they can also be
joined together to form smooth (continuous) shapes.
Circular
- Devices are connected to their deployed floor using smoothly curved
lines with no arrows.
Link Length
Use the slider to increase or decrease the distance between displayed nodes.
Disable
Automations
Moves devices to their original locations without the benefit of the movement
animation you may have added to review various devices deployment scenarios.
Autofit
Use the autofit option if the link length (or other display option) moves devices out
of viewable range within the Network View display.
Hierarchical Node
Spacing
Use the slider to increase or decrease the spacing between the devices and floors
within the hierarchal layout display. This option spaces devices equally from one
another. Devices are spaced in respect to the following hierarchal layout options,
as selected from the drop-down menu.
Top Bottom
- Places the floor devices reside in above the deployed devices
themselves.
Bottom Up
- Places the floor devices reside in below the deployed devices
themselves.
Left-Right
- Places the floor devices reside in to the left of the deployed devices
themselves.
Right-Left
- Places the floor devices reside in to the right of the deployed devices
themselves.
