Data View Overlay
Contents
This section introduces the overlay logic when multiple data views are applied on a map page:
Position Overlay
Multiple data units in the same position are overlaid according to the following rules:
▪The later applied data view will preferentially occupy positions depending on its position layout and its data units lay on the top layer.
▪Data units at the occupied positions in the earlier applied data views will be squeezed to other available positions automatically.
▪If all fixed and overflowed positions are fulfilled with data units, then the extra data units will be discarded.
For instance, you have three data views to apply: DV1, DV2, and DV3, and their device labels are defined as follows. Occupied positions are highlighted with a different background color in each data view:
▪DV1: 
▪DV2: 
▪DV3: 
The following table lists the position layout after you apply and remove a data view from a map step by step.
Step |
Position Layout |
|---|---|
1)When you apply the DV1 only |
|
2)Continue to apply the DV2 |
|
3)Continue to apply the DV3 |
|
4)Remove the DV2 |
|
5)Continue to remove the DV3 |

Device Note Overlay
Device notes can be merged when multiple data views are applied on a map page.
▪If any of the data view contains a device note, the device note is displayed on the matched devices no matter which data view is applied first.
▪If more than one data view contains a device note, each device note will be displayed on the matched devices regardless. For example, if DV1 contains one note and DV2 contains two notes for the device R1, after applying both DV1 and DV2, the device R1 is displayed with three notes.
Highlight Overlay
Highlights on a device icon or an interface link are overlaid if multiple data views are applied on a map page.
▪If any of the data views contains a device or interface highlight, the highlight is displayed on the matched devices no matter which data view is applied first.
▪If more than one data view contains a device or interfaces highlight, only the highlight in the latter applied data view is displayed.
