This section explains the Network Graph and different components that are displayed on the Right Hand Side (RHS) pane.
Network graph is the actual graphical representation of the network containing nodes and links. This graph is displayed only when you initiate a search via Filters.
To view Network Graph, follow these steps:
1. Navigate to the Network Analysis tab.
2. Go to the LHS section and filter the Network Graph based on your requirements. The Network Graph is displayed.
3. Select the following components to view network graphs.
|
NOTE |
By default, Node Label and Link Label options are selected and based on that network graph is displayed |
|
Field |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Node Label |
Select this checkbox to view a label for each node on the graph. De-selecting this checkbox removes all node labels from the graph. The Node Label displays in the following format: NodeType: NodeID. Node Type represents the type of entity it is. Node ID represents the identifier of the entity represented by this node. |
|
Link Label |
Select this checkbox to view the label for each link on the graph. De-selecting this checkbox clears all link labels from the graph. The middle of each link is labeled with the sum of the amount of all transactional links between the nodes. That is if there is a transaction between the nodes, such as a transfer of funds from one account to another, the total amount of all transactions, across all transactions types, between these nodes displays. When the links between nodes are non-transactional links, the Link Label does not display. |
|
Node Tooltip |
Select this checkbox to enable the ability to view additional information (in the form of a tooltip) about the node on the mouseover. Unselecting this checkbox disables the display of node tooltip information on mouseover. A node tooltip displays the following information. · Node Type: The type of entity. · Node ID: The identifier of the entity represented by this node. · Total Amount: Sum of the transaction amounts of all links involving this node within the network. · Incoming Amount: Sum of the transaction amounts of all links going into this node within the network. · Incoming Count: Count of all transactions where this node is the TO NODE. · Outgoing Amount: Sum of the transaction amounts of all links going out of this node within the network. · Outgoing Count: Count of all transactions where this node is the FROM NODE. · Total Count: Count of all transactions where this node is the TO NODE or FROM NODE. |
|
Link Tooltip |
Select this checkbox to view additional information about the link on mouseover. Un-checking the box disables the display of link information on mouseover. A link tooltip displays the following information: · <From Node> · Known Relationships |

Zoom In |
Select this option to zoom into the network graph. You can also use your mouse wheel to zoom out. |
|
Zoom Out |
Select this option to zoom out of the network graph. You can also use your mouse wheel to zoom in. |
|
Highlight |
Click this option to open the Highlight window. This allows a user to locate nodes and links on the network graph.
This window displays two radio buttons - Node and Link. The radio buttons allow the user to switch the context of the search between locating Nodes and Links. · To locate a Node, select the Node radio button. · To locate a Link, select the Link radio button. When you are searching using this text box, the system uses the following mapping to find matching node (s) and link (s) on the graph. For example, you are searching in the context of a node and enters the value "AC123" in this text box.
To find the matching nodes, the system should compare "AC123" to all the nodes on the graph (all node records retrieved as a result of the basic filter search should be in the cache). And within each record, use this mapping (for example, Account Internal ID on an Account record) to find the applicable nodes. |

Clear Highlight |
Click this option to clear all visual distinctions made on the graph as a result of using the Highlight feature. |
|
Legend |
Click this option to open the Legend window. This provides a dynamic indicator of the nodes and links that are visible in the graph. |
