Define actions for Node and Links
In the User view, the nodes and links provide possible actions on the right-
click context menu. By default, a link provides the option to show utilisation
on that interface and a node lets you view a list of services or a list of alarms
for that device. You can also add other actions that correspond to URLs that
are opened in a browser window. These actions, where configured, will appear
on the context menu.

In Edit Visuals right-click the Node\Link and select Define Actions.
- In the popup Dialog, enter an Action Label and URL in the spaces
provided.
