         <ListIntro>A map is a view that helps you to browse effortlessly through
		  sessions related to your project. It gives you overview, and detail at the same
		  time on where you are and what steps you need to take to administrate the
		  project. You can start a map from the menu browser or from a session. A map
		  displays a <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tp" role="package">Project</GUIRef> project in a structure of elements, activities, or extensions. ERP Enterprise will
		  display either a session or a map according to what you entered in one of the
		  following sessions:</ListIntro>
         <ListItem>The <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tp/pdm/tppdm0102m000" role="session">Map/Session Options by User (tppdm0102m000)</GUIRef> session. Use this session to set the options
		  for each module.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>The <Link href="/baanerp/tp/pdm/tppdm0101s000" role="session">User Profiles (tppdm0101s000)</Link> session. Use this session
		  to set the defaults for <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tp" role="package">Project</GUIRef>.</ListItem>
      </List>
      <Paragraph>If you did not enter any
		options or defaults in these two sessions and you double click a session in the
		menu browser, ERP Enterprise will by default start a session.</Paragraph>
      <List>
         <ListIntro>However, if you entered options in the <Link href="/baanerp/tp/pdm/tppdm0101s000" role="session">User Profiles (tppdm0101s000)</Link> session, you can see one of
		  the following options:</ListIntro>
         <ListItem>Open a map in the menu
		  browser.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Open a session in the
		  menu browser, and then open the corresponding map.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Open a session and a map
		  in the menu browser.</ListItem>
      </List>
      <List>
         <ListIntro>From each option, you can switch to one of the other options.
		  What type of structure you see depends on the entered values in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tp/pdm/tppdm0102m000" role="session">Map/Session Options by User (tppdm0102m000)</GUIRef> session. If you click the map open, you can,
		  for example, see the:</ListIntro>
         <ListItem>Project.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Element structure.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Activity structure.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Extension list and so
		  on.</ListItem>
      </List>
      <Paragraph>How to use the map?
		Enter a map by double clicking a session in the menu browser, now the map or
		the session starts (On the Specific menu choose Map) and you see the structure
		you chose. The following menu options of the map session are important:</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>File menu To fully open
		the tree structure click Open All or double click a node. The Font option
		enables you to change the font setting.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>View menu In the View
		menu go to one of the other structures by clicking on the structure type. In
		some maps, the user can see extra information, such as the Code Description and
		Code Description - Status Cost Control.</Paragraph>
      <List>
         <ListIntro>Specific menu This menu has a standard subdivision:</ListIntro>
         <ListItem>The general map
		  sessions.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>The synchronize
		  sessions.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>The other related
		  sessions. Therefore, if the map is called Commitments, the sessions on the
		  Specific menu will be about Commitments for the various cost types, and the map
		  will also contain all related sessions. If you double-click a session, you can
		  also go to the map that belongs to that session.</ListItem>
