You can insert off-page connectors in a
network to replace nodes. They indicate that a link continues in
part of the network that is outside the current view.
An off-page connector can have associated
information for:
- Displaying the corresponding view
- Indicating visually on which neighbor view the object represented by the off-page connector is located
The graphic representation of an off-page
connector is based on the information that is available in the
business model. Each decoration that is created depends on an
attribute and on properties that can be customized through CSS.
Although an off-page connector can have
states and alarms set like any other predefined business object,
its graphic representation is intended to be simple and to
highlight only the most important information about the object that
it replaces.
Off-page connectors do not represent states,
alarm counts or alarm balloons. The alarm information is
represented in the object base, as in the following illustration.
The following image shows an off-page
connector with the following attribute set:
- Type: Standard
- Name: Region A
- Object state: OSI Object State with Alarms
