Links on smart map

You can add links that go to locations on your smart map, or go to the static maps in XProtect Smart Client. This lets you quickly visit locations, or display another type of map without changing to another view. You cannot link to another smart map. For more information, see Differences between maps and smart maps.

Links display locations and maps as follows:

• A link to a location displays the location in the current view. To return to a location that you previously viewed, click Back on the smart map toolbar
• A link to a map displays the map in a detached window. This lets you access both types of maps at the same time. You can view and interact with the map but you cannot make changes in the detached window, such as adding cameras

If you color code links, or want to make them more visible on the map, you can specify a color for the link. By default, links to smart map locations are blue, and links to legacy maps are red. If you use a different color, it is a good idea to use the same color for each type of link. For example, this can make it easier to distinguish between links when you use layers to filter items on the map.
