Each map source file can be expanded to view all of the maps it contains. Each
map can be expanded to view the input and output cards. The input and output
card labels may also be expanded to view all of the input and output cards.
Navigator Icons
In addition to the alphabetical and compositional structure showing the contents of
each map source file, information about entries in the Map Designer Navigator is
conveyed visually with icons. For example, when a map does not have input
sources or output targets defined, the icon is gray. After a map has input sources
and output targets defined, the map icon changes to represent the existence of an
executable map.
The following table lists and briefly describes the icons that appear in the
Navigator.

target defined)
