Removing a Map from a Group
Mapping lets you identify the physical location of devices, device groups, and URLs on a map. You can also set
up navigation shortcuts to key items.
There are three general steps to follow to use the Map features:
1.
Activating the Maps Feature on page 89
2.
Adding a Map Graphic to a Device Group on page 89
3.
Placing Devices and Subgroups on a Map on page 89
When all three of these steps have been completed, you can use the Map docking feature and begin
interacting with maps (
Docking Task Modules and Maps on page 28).

Devices in Automatic Groups
●
If a device that has been placed on the map for an automatic group is automatically removed from an
auto group (because it no longer meets the auto group criteria) it is removed from the map but the
information that is on the map and where it is placed is maintained in case the device is automatically
added back into the group in the future. The mapping information will be maintained until the map for
the group is removed, the group is removed, or the device is deleted from HP Web Jetadmin.
●
If a device is automatically added to an automatic group (because it meets the auto group criteria) the
behavior depends upon whether or not it was previously on the map. If it was not previously on the
map, then it will not be on the map after it is added. If it was on the map when it was automatically
removed earlier, then it will be placed back on the map in the same location. If the map has been
changed in between and the location is now off the map, the map item will be removed from the map.
For more information about automatic and manual groups, see
Manual versus Automatic Groups
on page 111.
Devices in Sub-groups
●
If you remove a sub-group that has been placed on its parent's map, then the sub-group is removed
from the map and all map information about that sub-group on that map is permanently deleted from
