• You can add only CIs that have existing records in the CMDB.
• You can add only one CI at a time.
• You can remove an added CI from the map if you have not yet saved the CI to the map.
• If you try add a CI that already has a connection to another CI on the map, the map re-centers and the CI is highlighted. In some cases, due to filter settings, the CI isn't displayed.
• An added CI appears on the map but its CMDB record isn't changed unless you change the CI's connections and save the changes.
• The map editor doesn't support adding endpoint CIs.
• After you add a CI, it can be saved to the map only if it has a path (direct or indirect) to the home node.
