5.6.1.9 Network Visualization

Network Visualization is used to communicate information clearly and efficiently via graphics. Effective visualization helps you analyze cases and events. It makes complex data more accessible, understandable, and usable. The Network Visualization section provides insight into the relationship between various entities through graphics.

The Network Visualization link page is accessible for cases that are created using the Enterprise Case Management Framework platform link analysis capabilities such as Networks of Accounts, Entities, Customers, and Hidden Relationships scenarios. The Link Analysis algorithm produces a network of all the related entities that are linked by the information they share.

Nodes are entities, such as a Customer or Account, and each node can join to none, one or many other nodes via a link. The Network Visualization Link page allows you to visualize the nodes involved in a network and the links between those nodes.

There can be more than one link between two nodes. For example, if two bank accounts have multiple transactions between them, then each transaction forms one link.

The graphical representation is supplemented with information regarding each node and link.

The Network Graph displays all nodes in that network even if the node represents an entity that you do not have access to view. In that case, you are restricted from viewing additional details about the node (accessiblevia the Node Menu).
