4.1.3 Viewing an Entity Graph

This section displays a graphical representation of the case consisting of Customers, Accounts, and Derived Entity (External Entity) involved in the selected case.

  • Customers, Accounts, External Entities, Cases, and Events are displayed as nodes.
  • The relationships which occur between these nodes display as links. Edges may be relationships between the nodes like a customer having an account, similarity edges, and relationship edges to show linked entities or transactions.
  • Back-office transactions are not displayed in this graph.

To customize the graph, follow these steps:

  1. Right-click on the individual icon to view the details. For example, if you right-click on the account, then view the details such as Address, Business Domain, City, Entity type, Jurisdiction, and so on.
    • Click Expand - Fetch neighbors based on configurable hop count to expand that particular node 1 hop in each direction to view the additional information about Account/Customer/Derived Entity.

      Note:

      You can expand graph from any given node 1 hop in each direction using Expand - Fetch neighbors based on configurable hop count.

    • Click Drop - Delete selected vertices and edges to remove vertices and edges from the network.
    • Click Focus - Drops everything and fetches n-hop neighbors of selected vertices to focus only from the network.
  2. On the right pane, click on the individual check box such as Account, Case, Customer, Event and so on to unlink from the case.
  3. Click Update Graph Data to view the updated graph based on changes made in the transactions and the entities of the case. For example, if users remove a customer from the graph and then click Update Graph Data, then a decision needs to be made whether to remove the accounts for that customer, and the associated transactions tied to the accounts will be removed from the list of case transactions and will not be included in the dossier.
