Inset Map

An inset map is nothing more than a copy of a map. The inset map offers an additional view of the original map, which can be used e.g. to display enlarged sections. All contents of the origin map appear in the inset map just like in the origin map. The content of the inset map cannot therefore be changed independently of the origin map. Only the size of the inset map and the section of the original map shown in it can be selected individually.

Caption and Editability

Caption

Specify a name here to be able to find the element more quickly in the Contents control window. For analyses, maps or sheets, you should use a name that contains the topic.

EasyMap assigns generic names for new elements (e.g. map 1). If you do not change these, you will later have great difficulty in finding certain content in workbookn.
Visibility
General

Here you can control the visibility of objects and elements.
Alternating visibility group

Set a group for mutual visibility here. If the element is to be made equally visible with other elements, you must use the same name for the visibility group.
Simultaneous visibility group

Set a group for simultaneous visibility here. If the element is to be made mutually visible with other elements, you must use the same name for the visibility group.

Commands

You can right-click on an object in the control window Contents or on a selected object in the map window to open its context menu. This offers some actions that can be performed on this object.

Select other Object

If you do not want to select the uppermost object at the mouse position, but an object below it, you can select this using the selection list. Besides locking the selection level, this is the only way to select objects that are hidden by other objects.
Transfer Selection to

Transfers the current selection geographically to another object. Details...

Here you can change the selected element in the character sequence. Another option is to drag and drop the selected element within the content view.
