How to Reorder Grid Pages

If your map is complex, you can include multiple grid pages, and then rename and reorder them. This topic includes step-by-step instructions to perform these operations.

You can include one or more grid pages to simplify the view of your map, and also to keep it organized and readable. For example, you can put all the links and functoids that relate to header information on one page, and then put all the links and functoids that relate to the body of your map on another page. You can then rename and reorder the grid pages that you have created.

Prerequisites

These instructions require that BizTalk Mapper is running.

To reorder grid pages using the page tabs panel

  1. Select the page tab you want to move/reorder.

  2. Hold down the mouse key and move it along the page tabs panel.

  3. Release the mouse when you have brought the page tab to the desired location on the page tab panel.

    Tip

    The page is moved/reordered only when the mouse cursor changes into a vertical line between two page tabs. The vertical line indicates the position of the page to be reordered.
