Nesting multiple network maps

Question

I am trying to develop a dsashboard using network atlas.  I started with a small map of a single site and added my resources then added it to the parent, which is by region.  That worked, but I have several smaller maps that I want to add to the bigger regional based map.  Is that possible?

Essentially, there can be any number of layers and the status of each map gets propagated up. Load each of the lower level maps in network atlas, right click and choose 'Map properties'. There is a 'slide bar' (about percentage of objects in the map that must be up/down to determine status). You can try sliding from 1 extreme to the other. That **should** do it - i haven't tried it but **should** work

That will work great, is there a way to make it so that if the status of one of the smaller maps is down to make the regional show as down instead of warning?

Take a look at this.

This is built using 2 lower level maps.

you can simply drag the lower level maps into the higher level map. no need to add an object, and then make it get its status from a map.
