Using attached lines

Attached lines show an arbitrary connection between devices. When you move two devices that are connected by attach lines, the attach lines also move. Attach lines are visual representations assigned by the user, and not a reflection of a true connection between the two devices. The true connection between the two devices is done with Link lines.

To draw an attached line:

  1. In the Map View, right-click a device. The right-click menu appears.
  2. Click Attach > Attach to. A line displays next to the cursor.
  3. Click the device icon you want to attach to. WhatsUp Gold draws an attached line between the two devices.

Note: Each device can attach to up to five other devices.
