When more than one site is located close together, the sites are aggregated into a cluster site, which is represented as a single dot with the number of sites displayed on the dot.  The number of Sites is specified. By positioning your mouse over the icon, you can also display a tooltip that indicates the number of hubs and the number of spokes. Note that a cluster Site in red informs you of raised alarms. |
