Network graph

The Network graph page shows a visual representation of your network and all its assets. The icons can represent both assets or nodes. If a node belongs to an asset, then only the asset will show. If several nodes belong to the same asset, they will not show, and only the asset will show. In the case that a node does not belong to an asset, the node itself will show.
