Orion Maps - how do I add a specific map to a specific group

Pretty much as the title states, and probably I'm missing something really obvious.

So I've created a specific map - let's call it 'Map ABC' in Orion maps as I want to keep an eye on how this side of things is developing. I've even saved the map as Map ABC.

Now how do I get this map to display in a specific group called 'Map ABC Group'?

To add to the above, I have added a page / tab in the left hand side popout called "Orion Map" for the group, and I want to display this specific map, for this specific group, and only in this group. As a bonus, it would be nice if said map was available from any node in this group without any extra effort, but not essential.

TIA

EDIT: would be real nice if  this was dynamic and based on the group name a la Atlas, so that I don't have to do it for each, and every group.

  • Hi  

    Could you clarify a little please? Are you looking for a link to the map you have created for the ABC group to show up as an element option within the ABC group summary page? 

    Also, which view have you added the sub-page for the map on? The default node summary view?

  • Apologies, I may not be using the terminology correctly but let me try ....

    • Currently, if I select a group called ABC and I have in Network Atlas maps created one called ABC, then that displays in the group summary.
    • On this same group summary, I have created an additional tab within the left hand flyout menu called Orion Maps.
    • If I now select this tab I want to be able to see my Orion Maps generated map for ABC there - this will be different for each group.

    At present, if I select map ABC, then no matter what group I go to, I only ever see map ABC whereas I want to be able to see the map for that group - so ABC map appears on ABC, XYZ map appears on ZYX page and so on.

  • I appreciate the response but that is what we have now for Network Atlas maps. I think our approach is slighlty less cumbersome than the linked one as well.

    Add map widget in relevant location and ignore the 'select map' section.

    Instead, in the box below - map format name do this:

    But what I am very much after is how to do similar on a sub-tab, in the flyout, called  Orion Maps.

  • Apologies i misunderstood the question.

    We have what you have, a group, a network map tab and an orion map tab by default.

    The issue that we have is that the orion map tab dynamically populates each time it is selected, this throws all of the objects on screen in a random order, we can re-arrange this to reflect actual but we are unable to save that view.

    When we re-select the orion maps view they are random again.

    We have done what you appear to have done in creating a new tab for Orion Maps flyout but as like you it only allows one map for all groups

    Perhaps this might get fixed in a later release.
