Enabled Maps

You can use the Enabled Maps panel of the Server Settings window to enable and disable maps, to remove maps, to organize maps into folders, and to import and export them.

  • Checked maps - active maps. Intermapper actively polls everything on the map.
  • Unchecked maps - inactive maps. Intermapper does not poll the devices on those maps.

The Enabled Maps panel lists available maps and shows which maps are enabled. From the Enabled Maps panel, you can do the following:

  • Enable or Disable a map. Select the check box to the left of a map in the list to enable or disable it.
  • Import a map. Click Import to import data into Intermapper.
  • Export a map. Click Export to save the current map as an Intermapper map file on your local machine.
  • Duplicate a map. Select a map and click Duplicate to create a copy of it.

  • Remove a map. Select a map and click Remove. A confirmation window appears.

    NOTE:  When you remove a map, it is placed in the Maps (Deleted) folder.
  • Create a new Folder. Click a map at the level you want to create the folder and click New Folder.

Organizing Maps into Folders

From the Enabled Maps panel, you can create folders and use them to organize your maps. This organization is displayed in the Map List window.

To organize maps into folders: 

  1. To create a folder, do one of the following:

    • Click any map at the top level and click New Folder to create a folder in the top level of the map list. A folder is created and named Untitled.
    • Click the folder where you want to create a new folder to create a folder within a folder.
  2. Type a name for the new folder and press Enter on your keyboard. The folder name changes to the specified name it moves to the correct alphabetic location in the list.
  3. Drag maps into the folder.
NOTE:  When you create a folder with the same name as a map at the same hierarchical level, a folder is displayed. After the folder is created, you can open the map by double-clicking the associated folder in the Map List window.

Map File Locations

Maps are stored in the following locations: 

  • Enabled maps are stored in the Intermapper Settings/Maps/<version>/Enabled folder.
  • Disabled maps are stored in the InterMapper Settings/Maps/<version>/Disabled folder.

  • When you delete a map, it is not discarded. Instead, it is placed in the InterMapper Settings/Maps/Deleted folder.

    NOTE:   Even though you can place maps in the Maps folder using the file system, this is not recommended. If the server is running when you place the files in the folder, the maps are ignored and an error is logged when you go to the Server Configuration > Enabled Maps panel of the Server Settings window. Use the Enabled Maps panel's Import Map button to add maps to the Maps folder.
