To change the root object of a navigation tree

General information

The root is the highest-level object in the tree. When Equipment is selected in the view selector, you can change the root of the tree.

Perform this procedure to make a lower-level object the root of the current navigation tree window or a new navigation tree window, or to restore the default Network root.

Steps
 
1 

Open the navigation tree window and select the Equipment view.

2 

Change the root object of a tree. Perform any of the following:

  1. Make a selected object the root of the current tree. Right-click on the object and choose Make Root. The navigation tree is refreshed with the selected object as the root of the tree.

  2. Make a selected object the root of a new navigation tree window. Right-click on the object and choose Make Root in New Tree. A new navigation tree window opens with the selected object as the root of the tree.

    Up to five navigation tree windows can be open at one time.

    The Make Root in New Tree option is also available when you right-click on an equipment group in the topology map navigation tree, or on the map background. A new navigation tree window opens with the equipment group selected or displayed in the map as the root of the tree.

    The Make Root In New Tree option is not available for the root object of a tree.

  3. Restore the default Network object as the root object. Click on the Make Root At Top Level icon on the navigation tree toolbar.

    The Make Root At Top Level icon is available when a lower-level object is the root of the tree.
