Creating a Network Navigator Dashboard

The Network Navigator Dashboard is an interactive graph visualization tool that enables you to find relationships in the knowledge graph and explore the paths to build out a Network View. This topic helps you get started building a Network Navigator Dashboard by covering the basic steps of creating such a dashboard. Additional topics describe the functionality in further detail and cover more advanced dashboard configuration options. For instructions on creating a Graphmart dashboard, see Creating a Graphmart Dashboard.

By default, only the sysadmin user has permission to create a Network Navigator Dashboard. However, the sysadmin user can share created dashboards with other users and groups (see Sharing Access to Dashboards and Lenses).

1. In the Graph Studio Hi-Res Analytics application, select Dashboard > New. The Create Dashboard dialog displays.

   

   By default, the two most common types of dashboards, i.e., Graphmart Dashboard and Graphmart Network Navigation Dashboard, are displayed. When Show Advanced Dashboards is selected, two other types of dashboards display: Linked Dataset Network Navigator and Gallery Dashboard. For the present example, we will create a Linked Dataset Network Navigator.

   

2. Select Linked Dataset Network Navigator and click Next. Remember that only the sysadmin user has the option to create this type of dashboard. If you do not see the option and think you should, check with your system administrator.

3. Next, type a name for the dashboard in the Title field and enter an optional Description.

   

4. Click Finish to create the dashboard. The dashboard appears as a new tab in the application.

   

5. To continue creating the dashboard, you must select the linked dataset to use for queries. To do so, select Add Linked Datasets and select your dataset from the Select Linked Data Sets dialog that displays. Click OK when you are finished.

   

   The Network Navigator user interface displays.
