Arranging Objects on Maps

This section discusses how to arrange objects on maps.

To move objects on maps:

  1. Select the object.

    Handles appear around the object.

  2. Drag the object to a new position.

    When you drag an object, caption text moves with it. You can, however, select or move just the text to reposition it relative to its object.

    If an object is linked to other objects, the lines representing links move with the object.

    Use the Snap to Grid feature to align the object to the grid or deactivate the Snap to Grid feature for free-form placement.

To delete objects from maps:

  1. Select the object to delete.

  2. Press Delete.

To change the display bitmap of an existing icon:

  1. Right-click the icon and select Change Bitmap.

    The Open dialog box appears.

  2. Select the image file.

  3. Click OK.

    The selected image replaces the default bitmap.

Note: The Open dialog box for Change Bitmap lists only images that are Microsoft Windows-compatible. Also, when the system saves the activity or business process definition, it automatically generates a JPEG file of it so that it can be viewed in PeopleSoft Navigator (in the browser).

To align multiple objects visually:

  1. Decide on a base position object; you’ll move other objects in line with this base position object.

  2. Press Shift while selecting the objects that you want to move.

    Select the base position object last. To deselect an object, continue to press Shift and select the object again.

  3. Click the appropriate button in the Alignment toolbar.

To move objects in front of or behind each other:

  1. Select the objects that you want to move in front of or behind another overlapping object.

  2. Click the appropriate button on the Layering toolbar.
