Representing off-page connectors
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.
