Update metric link icons

Top  Previous  Next

Metric links that use the Icon display  (Icon is a metric link display type that can be selected on the Display tab when defining a metric link)can be updated for a selection of objects, a diagram or a scope of diagrams. Two types of metric links exist; metric links that are associated with data and metric links that are not associated with data.

 

Note: Only diagrams that you have read/write access to can be updated.

 

Any image can be used as the Icon to display on metric links. The default images for the two different metric link types are:

 

 

Metric link not associated with data

 

Metric link associated with data

 

 


 

 

1.From the Map menu choose Metrics, then Update Metric Icons.

 

2.From the Metric Links to Update panel choose one of the following options:

 

Update non-data metric links will update all metric links that are not associated with data.

Update data metric links will update all metric links that are associated with data and which use the Icon display type.

 

3.From the Scope panel choose the scope to update the metric links for.

 

Note: To update metric links for selected objects, you must first select the objects within the current diagram first.

 

4.In the Icon panel do one of the following:

 

To replace any icon-based metric link images with a different image, click Load and select the image that you want to use.

 

To replace any icon-based metric link images with the default image, select the Use Default Image check box.

 

Note: If you do not select the default image or a different image, any metric links that are changed in this process will be removed, although the metric link will still exist.

 

5.Click OK.
