Network Atlas - how do I replace an outdated map to show in the Solarwinds UI?

We just did a major remodel at a property and I had to create a new network map in Network Atlas. I've looked in the various administrator's guides but I can't find a reference for replacing an old map with a new one. When I'm using the Solarwinds web UI and I click on the Network Map you can click on Property A and see a floor diagram with the various nodes and statuses.

My problem is I don't know how to replace the Property A map with Property A_new so it will display when we click on the building in the network map. I've already created the map in Network Atlas, this is the part I can't figure out.

gregatkins,

I moved this to the NPM forum (since it is one of our products that uses the Network Atlas) and forwarded your question to information development here. If they are unable to help you out, someone from the team will direct your question to someone who can.

Hang tight,

Michael

Install the Network Atlas tool on your PC

Open it and connect to your NPM server.

When expand Maps and double click the map you want to edit.

To change the background picture click the "Background Image" in the top menu.

Select your new drawing.

Move the device indicaters aorund to fit your new drawing

I know you can change the background image and just replace everything. I have a property called "A" and I already created a map called "A_new". I want to delete the old map "A" and completely replace it with "A_new" which already has all the nodes set up on it.

If you access map A from another map. Like a country map.

Just open that parrent map in Network Atlas. Delete the green circel representing A and drag in A_new to the same position. You can drag in maps on another map just like you drag devices.

If Map A are access directly in NPM desktop, you just press edit and select MAP_A instead..

I may misunderstand what you try to do, but the 2 scenarioes above are my best guess
