2. Select the Tree icon ( )at the top right of any view. The Network Tree View window, shown in Figure 229,
appears on the screen.

3. Use the arrows to drill down into the folders to select the Campus, Building, or Floor. Select the folder or floor
plan icon to open the view you have selected. The Network Tree View window will remain on the screen until
you close it.
NOTE: If you prefer not to use background maps for your campus or building placements, click a background and select Auto-Arrange
to move the campuses, buildings from their placements into an alphabetically-sorted list.
