The Saved Visualizations page is available in the Main menu (top right).

This page consists of several components:

1.Control panel

  • Button "New visualization" will open a new blank visualization.

  • Sorting buttons "Alphabetical", "Created", "Changed" and "Owner" can be used to order saved visualization by any of these properties ("Alphabetical" will order visualizations by name).

  • Switch "Show hidden" to show or hide the hidden shared visualizations (see List of visualizations for more information).

2.List of visualizations

This list contains the visualizations stored by a user and the visualizations shared by other users. To see information about a visualization, like an owner, created, and updated dates, move the cursor over the visualization.

A user with the permission to "View all visualizations of all other users" see all existing visualizations.

Operations

To open a visualization click on the image or name of the visualization. There are several options for how the data for visualization can be loaded. See "Loading modes" below for more information.

If the visualization was created by the user (is not shared with the user by some other user) there are these operations available:

  • Share: see "Share visualization" below

  • Update: name and description can be changed

  • Delete: visualization is removed

If the visualization was not created by the user:

  • Hide: shared visualization can be flagged as hidden. You can later see hidden visualizations with the "Show hidden" switch in the Control Panel.

Share visualization

If the user has the permission "Share visualization", visualizations can be shared with other users or groups of users. The user can share a visualization with groups which he is a member of or with users who are members of these groups.

If the user has the permission "Share visualization to everyone", visualizations can be shared with any group and any user in the Graphlytic application.

Loading modes

When visualization is being opened, these situations can happen (based on how the visualization is configured):

  • The saved graph is loaded and visualized exactly as it was saved

  • The graph is loaded and every node and relationship is checked against the graph database for any changes. If some changes are detected then the refreshed data is used and changed elements are highlighted.

  • If the visualization was created using a query (cypher or Query Template) then there's also an option to automatically reload the query on visualization loading.

The fact, if the loading should happen automatically, or if the user should choose from one of the options above, can be configured in the visualization in the Settings tab of the Control Panel.

Example of the loading options during visualization loading:
