Settings

The Context Graph Visualization settings determine how data models are displayed on the canvas. In the Context Graph Visualization application, click the Settings button on the toolbar to configure the Context Graph Visualization settings.

Auto Open Model

Check this option to open models automatically when you access the Canvas. Uncheck this option to open the Canvas to a blank screen, and then run a query to populate the screen.

Open limit

The maximum number of entities that can be loaded into Visualization at one time. The default is 5000. Click Save and restore model items between sessions to preserve which elements of the model are loaded on the Canvas. This setting applies when you switch to another model, sign out of and then sign in to Context Graph Visualization, or refresh the application.

Query limit

Specifies the maximum number of queries that can be requested of Visualization in one session. The default is 100 and the maximum value you can enter is 1000.

Selection fading

Check this option if you want non-selected entities to fade into the background rather than to disappear entirely. Set the Opacity level of the fading between 1 for no fading and 0 for invisible. The default is .2.

Auto zoom to selected items

Check this option if you want the canvas to zoom to the selected items rather than retain the focus on the entire model.

Layout timeout (seconds)

The number of seconds that Context Graph Visualization waits for a layout to load before timing out. The default is 10 seconds.

Dashboard widget timeout (seconds)

The number of seconds that Context Graph Visualization waits for a dashboard widget to load before timing out. The default is 60 seconds.

Normalize centrality measurements (except degree)

Check this option to use the average length of the shortest path between an entity and all other entities in the model. With normalizing you can compare entities from models of different sizes.
