Annotations
Annotations, available in the WhatsUp Gold console application, are graphical objects that let
you customize and visually organize a map view. You can use these annotations to draw
connections between devices, add images and backgrounds, provide textual information,
and add visual enhancements to the Map View. Map annotations include:
Circles
Lines
Rectangles
Text
Network clouds
Polygons
Images
The Annotation toolbar is located at the top middle of the WhatsUp Gold console Map View.
Use this toolbar to add annotations and manipulate their properties, such as border width
and color.
About Map View device limitations
By default, WhatsUp Gold does not display maps with more than 256 devices. You can
change this default within the registry keys, with the understanding that it will cause lengthy
delays by specifying larger device defaults.
Important: The more devices you allow on a map, the longer time you will wait for the map
to load.
To change map device limitations:
1 Locate the registry key which controls this setting.
