Generating Submaps Automatically - Enterasys Netsight User Manual

The Map View workspace will update automatically to display the new map in its position
in the hierarchy. The Submap icon itself will display the current status of its associated
map; double-clicking on a Submap icon will also open or activate the associated map.
You can only place a Submap symbol in the root map that was active when the Insert
Submap process was initiated.
