- Add a node. Examples of nodes would be: router, firewall or an abstraction like a cloud
- Add a link
- Add text to the map like a map title, etc.
- Set background provides functionality to change the canvas background or to add a graphic to the canvas
- Make the chart static is a switch. The chart nodes will stay where placed by the user
- Make chart force directed is the opposite of a static chart. The chart nodes will stay where placed by the user
- Create a palette that can be used as a custom colour for links
- Palettes allow you to edit or delete created palettes. You can create a palette according to specific colours by googling RGB to Hex and obtaining the correct codes. This is particularly important when ensuring a match for corporate colours
- Refresh refreshes the map and causes all the background AJAX calls to be sent out
