Intellect system allows creating multilevel maps comprised of several layers.

In case of multiple layers, the links should be established between the layers. These links help move to other layers for operative control and viewing of the device objects located on them.

The links are created in the Map Editor. To run the Map Editor, click Edit Selected Layer in the settings panel of the Layer object. When a link is established, a special symbol appears on the map. Clicking on this symbol takes the operator from the current layer to another layer.

To create a new link from the current layer to another, do the following:

1. Select Links in the Map Editor main menu, then select Add Link with Layer.
   
   The Link with Layer window opens, allowing to choose the layer to link to.
   There is another way of opening the Link with Layer window. In the Map Editor, click anywhere on the layer map. The context menu will open. Select Add Link with Layer from this menu.
   
2. In the Link with Layer window, select the layer to link the current layer to.
   
   Enter the name for this link in the Link Name field.
3. Click the OK button to create the link.

A symbol will appear on the map representing the link. This symbol is shown in red color.

On default the symbol of connection with this layer starts to flash if alarm is detected on the layer. If additional indication is required it is possible to configure alarm symbol of connection with layer. To do this place the file link_alarm.bmp containing some image characterizing alarm on the layer to the <Intellect installation directory>/Bmp folder. If such file is in the Bmp folder then symbol of connection with this layer will changed to image from the link_alarm.bmp file and start to flash while alarm on this layer.
