Product section

Network Performance Monitor

Cause

The issue occurs when a map is exported and opened from the exported location.

Resolution

Resolution 1

The original map needs to be recreated in the Network Atlas Map.

Start the Network Atlas.
Enter your Orion Web Console credentials and the Orion server address, and click Connect.
Follow the instructions for Create a new Network Atlas Map

Resolution 2

When Link Utilization is selected it is going to show the color according to link Utilization.

And the Link Properties 'Appearance' tab will be grayed out because the color is taken from Link utilization rather than being manually edited in the Link Properties 'Appearance' section.

When "Show Link Utilization" is selected, "Appearance" is not customizable and the color is taken from the Link utilization above.

When "Don't show additional Info" is selected, the Appearance is customizable.
