Different map on different page?

How can I show different map, in different devices page? In this case, I have several groups that include different devices. I'd like to make a map that show WAN map in WAN group, LAN map in LAN group etc. But I've only managed to show the same map in every page. (Of course I know why. All those pages belong to "groups" layouts. I know there are different page layouts in different type of pages, like hosts, interfaces, volumes etc. but that is no enough in this case because I'd like to get different layouts for same type of page layouts that include different devices.

Got it!

Open any Group Details page and then click Customize Page
Add a Map object
Back to the Group Details page - Edit the Map object
In the Map Name Format Dropdown list, select ${Name} (Not Group ${Name})
Ensure your map's name is the same as the group's name

That did it for me.

Hi lsmo--

You'll need to create a nested map. Please see this thread for further instructions.

Hope this helps,

That works in map navigating, yes. But now I only see child map when I click it on main map, but I cannot see other group level data (availability, events etc) that I normally see on group view. Any way to show different maps in different groups?

Hi Ismo, which version of NPM are you using? There is new possibility for this in NPM 10.2 and newer. You can for example set in map resource "Group ${Name}" as map name format. After that in case you have map names set according to group names, each group will show different map in same map resource.

(I just updated NPM to version 10.2.2)

Sounds nice, but I don't know how to do that. Where should I write and what buttons to press...?

Online help or admin manuals doesn't know that new feature at all.
