Specifying Link Options

The Link tab of the extract inspector enables you to specify the link options for the link extract type, such as the data source and node link filters. This tab is displayed only if the extract type is Link.

To specify link options:

1. On the Link tab of the extract inspector, click Edit.
2. (Optional): In Data Source Filter, add one or more data sources to include in the extract. Multiple data sources are combined with OR logic (that is, if a node link exists with any of the data sources that you specify, it is included in the extract). If you leave this field blank, all data sources are included.
3. In Node Link Filter, select an option to include in the extract:
   • All Nodes: All nodes are included in the extract, whether or not they have links.
   • Nodes with Links: Only nodes with links are included in the extract. Nodes without links are excluded from the extract.
   • Nodes without Links: Only nodes without links are included in the extract. Nodes with link information are excluded from the extract.

Note:

The Data Source Filter and Node Link Filter controls work together. The extract will display data source information only for the data sources that you specify, even if you select All Nodes in the Node Link Filter. For example, if you specify data source Financials in the Data Source Filter, and you select All Nodes in the Node Link Filter, the extract will contain all of the nodes in the viewpoint, but only the nodes with a data source of Financials will have link information in the extract. Link information for the nodes from other data sources is not included.
