In V1.2, the propagation policy (latest or highest) can only be applied
per domain basis; I doubt we will have time to do what you suggested
before V1.2 SSB.

Well, there's no short cut; you have to save customize and exit in
order for the changes to take effect.

I am not sure what the problem is here. Are you saying when you do a
reset alarm on a double line icon nothing happens? I tried it on my
system and it works fine.

| When certain alarm rules fire, I wish the map to go back to the state
it was in initailly. To do this I set all icons blue.
But, for parallel line icons, instead of the background colour
appearing between the lines, the colour blue appears.
What colour should I select to get background.
A new problem that has appeared concerns two single line icons
between the same two nodes. It is very easy to get the unwanted effect
off the second line being drawn directly on top of the first one.
Once this happens, it is impossible to get two lines back again
without deregistering and reregistering the icons.
I also find on occasion that a reset alarms does not reset
some lines that have changed colour whenthe rest is done through the
iconic map.
Is there a mechanism for "locking" a map. Once I have spent
several minutes ensuring that all lines appear exactly vertical
and horizontal, I find it very annoying to lose the pretty picture
should the mouse move slightly when I click on the icon for another
reason eg resetting an alarm

Well, there's really no way to do what you want now... however,
the alarms descalation is working probably now (since X1.2.16 I think).
So you can have alarms color to go from Critical (or whatever) to
Clear if the alarms condition is not longer true. Does that fit
your bill?

IMPM always connect lines from center of an icon to the center of other
icon, and that is why you are seeing two lines (lines or line icons,
doesn't matter) overlap.

Not for V1.2, sorry.

What version are you running? Would you be more specific as to
exactly what happened? (i.e. what kind of entities are you dealing
with? what changed color and what doesn't? etc...)
