Edit and rotate labels on a map
All elements on a map have a label, making it easy to identify them.
If you have a great number of elements on a map, it can be difficult to have enough room for all the
labels. You can edit the name of the devices, by selecting the label and then typing in a new (shorter)
name for the device.
When you rename a label, you are only changing the label on the map, not the name of the camera or
element in the system.
You can also make sure your labels don't overlap by rotating them. To rotate a label on a map:

Select the label and place your mouse over one of the sizing handles. When the mouse
pointer changes appearance to a curved arrow, click and drag the label to rotate it.
Another way to save space on a map is to select only to show view zones and PTZ presets on hover
(see "Map settings" on page 71).
