Select an entity on the map from the Inspector Panel

For each entity on the map, there is a selected box in the Inspector Panel. To the right of the entity, there is a chevron icon.

The Inspector Panel lists entities on the map, as well as related or connected entities that are not on the map:

• Entities on the map have a selected box on the left and a chevron icon on the right.
• Related or connected entities have an empty box on the left.

2. Click the center icon for the entity to center the map around.

Add entities to the map from the Inspector Panel

You can only add entities from the Inspector Panel on auto-generated maps in the Map subview. Custom Intelligent Maps do not support this feature, and the check boxes are not available.

For auto-generated Intelligent Maps, review the check boxes in front of entities in the Inspector Panel. A gray box indicates the seed entity that you cannot remove from the map. The name of the seed entity is also in the map title.

• If a box is selected (blue with a checkmark), the entity is displayed on the map.
• If a box is not selected, click it, and click Apply to add the entity to the map.
