Using Filters
The Filters section of Relationship Analysis Client allows you to hide selected entities or
relationships from your canvas. Selection and Type filters enable you to clear out
extraneous elements—those whose properties don't meet your requirements or whose
data doesn't factor into your current interest. Using these kinds of filters can
reveal important connections in the elements left behind. Temporal filters enable
you to capture a segment of data in a specific time frame. They can also help you
compare the activity of your network from one time to another. Numeric filters
enable you to capture data containing a property that falls within a range that you
specify. For instance, if your data contains information about insurance claims, you
might have a field called "NumberOfVisits" for the number of times a doctor has
claimed treating a particular patient, with relationships in your model reflecting
that relationship. If you are trying to isolate relationships with 10 or more
visits, you could filter your data based on that field, and set the minimum value to
10. This would remove relationships that have a number lower than 10 in the
NumberOfVisits field.
Note: When an entity is filtered, all connecting relationships
will also be filtered. When a relationship is filtered, the connecting entities
are not filtered.
