Data Hub Module

Data Hub Visualization

Data Hub Visualization is a new, browser-based tool that enables you to view and manipulate data from your models in a graphical manner.

The Dashboard provides counts and other details for entities, relationships, properties, and connections. It also identifies multiple top-10 rankings in your data and provides a news feed function that displays updates to watched items.

With the Canvas, you can manually select, load, and unload entities and relationships or you can run a query to look for specific data. You can also apply layouts to your models to review them in different formats and potentially identify additional links.

The Map plots locations using geographic and address information in your data. You can refine how you use your data by observing how widespread or how dense activity is. You can also run a query to plot items with latitude/longitude data on the map.

Metadata provides detailed counts for entities, relationships, entity types, relationship labels, and properties. It also enables you to change the appearance of your model's elements at the metadata level.

Import to Hub update option

Import to Hub has a new option regarding updating data. The Update existing model field designates whether to update, append, remove, or retain data when an Import to Hub job is run and the model already exists. If this box is unchecked and you run a job that writes new data to the model, the existing data will first be deleted; if the new job results in blanks for a property, that property's existing data will be removed. If this box is checked, you must specify how Import to Hub should handle existing data for both entities and relationships.

Note: Import to Hub has no error recovery capability; if you use this option, be sure to back up your existing model before updating the model with this option selected.

Wildcard Search Type

The Data Hub Module now supports wildcard search types in queries. Wildcards search the index for the text you enter but allows for a single wildcard character or a wildcard character sequence. Supported wildcards include the question mark (?), which matches any single character, and the asterisk (*), which matches any character sequence (including blanks). For example, if you search cities in Texas for "Aus*", the search will return records with "Austin", "Austonio" and "Austwell". If you conduct a similar search for "Aust??", only "Austin" will be returned because each question mark represents a single character and the other two city names have more characters in their name.

Query Iterations Deprecated

Query iterations in Relationship Analysis Client have been deprecated. If you load a query that was built using iterations you will likely need to rewrite the query.
