Navigate the Map

The first time you view the Map, all clusters appear within the concept compass. Sometimes you may want to view only a small portion of the main cluster area.

To change the visible portion of the Map, you can move the position of the main cluster area.

To change the size of the clusters and document dots, you can zoom in or out. Zooming in and out changes the spine concepts on the compass. It is also easier to select clusters and documents when the Map is zoomed in.

The following table describes how to pan and zoom with the Map to focus on specific documents or clusters.
