How do I place a region on the map layout?

Purpose

If a newly-created region is GEO located and contains at least one GEO-located NE or router, the region is placed automatically on the map layout. If the region is not GEO-located, it must be manually placed and sized on the map.

Note: If no background map graphic appears in the Map Layout view, it can be configured through the NSP system settings; see How do I configure NSP system settings?.

Steps


1	Open Map Layouts and Groups.
2	In the Map Layout view, from the Layer drop-down list, select Physical or IGP, depending on which map layer you want to add a region to.
3	Click Map Layout view to view the layout as a map.
4	Click Unplaced Regions. A red flag on the icon indicates that unplaced regions are present. Newly-created regions may take up to 30 seconds to become completely available in the Map Layout view.
5	In the Unplaced Regions list, click on a region icon to place it on the map. On the map, click and drag the region into position. The Move Zone/Region With Contents option must be enabled on the map palette under Clustering Controls before you can add a region to the map.
6	Double-click the region to expand it and move NE or router icons into position.
7	Click Deploy Layout Changes To Common Layout to save your changes. End of steps
