How do I create a region for an IGP map layout?

Purpose

Complete this procedure to add regions to the IGP map layout. You can create multiple regions.

Steps
 
1 

Open Map Layouts and Groups.

2 

In the Map Layout view, select IGP from the Layer drop-down list.

3 

On the left-hand side of the GUI, select a map layout in the Layouts list.

4 

On the right-hand side of the GUI, click png12.png Add Region. The Add Region form appears.

5 

Specify a name and description for the region and follow the instructions in the form, clicking Continue to navigate through the pages.

6 

In the Add Routers step, specify Routers for the region, either through inclusion filters or manually:

  • Filter Routers based on Router attributes. Select Attribute Filter from the menu, click Add Context Filter and select a Router attribute. When the new filter appears in the list, click png14.png Add Filter and type an attribute value. You can specify multiple attributes.

  • Add Routers to the region manually. Select Manual Entry from the menu. You can then click Import to import a comma-separated list of Router IDs, or click Add Router ID and specify an individual Router ID.

  • Filter Routers based on advanced filter expressions. Select Advanced Filter from the menu. Type a filter expression in the Filter Contents field, starting with a Router attribute, followed by a Boolean operator and an attribute value. The system suggests possible attributes, operators, and attribute values as you type, and displays error messages in red when an expression is invalid. You can combine attribute-value expressions using AND and OR operators.

    If you are creating a filter to include a large number of routers, it is better to specify an attribute with a range of values to include the routers. Specifying a large number of individual router attribute values linked together with OR operators creates a complex inclusion filter that will burden system resources and possibly cause the import process to fail.

When you have finished configuring your filters, click Continue. The filter results are listed in the Review and Adjustments form.

Review the list of Routers to include in the region. If you want to exclude any of the listed Routers, click png15.png Exclude on the item. Click Finish to save the region.
