When the cursor is placed over a device or a line without clicking the mouse, a yellow box, or tool tip, will appear.
The hover text in the image above shows the connection between two switches. Switch 10.1.1.252 uses port 10 to connect to port 1 of switch 10.1.1.
Note: If the port numbers are misleading and you want to have other numbers appear,
see how the Trunking file works.
Note that routers are not connected by ports, so you will not see a port number in the hover text of connections to routers (unless it is a layer 3 device).
Hover text is also availabe when you place the mouse over a device.
A hover over a device box will open a box with the ability to show any two of the six names defined by the six views.
In this example the IP and Location view names are selected for display. See setting device hover text.
Starting in IntraVUE version 2.1, a new feature has been added to allow you to add custom information as a second line to the hover text of a device.
This text is applied to the connecting line leading from the device toward the 'top parent'.
To add custom information do an Export. Using a spreadsheet program, the last column will have a label named 'Uplink.Doc'.
You may enter up to 255 characters in the field. The text will all appear on one line.
