Find data

Search in views

You can search for nodes across your open views by pressing cmd-F on a mac or ctrl-F on Windows, then typing the node label you wish to find, and pressing Enter. Any nodes with labels that match your query will be selected and highlighted.

Using the Data Retrieval Agent

Search in Graph

Ask questions of your data through natural language using the data retrieval agent. Narrow down the Features to Consider in your query, as well as a Data Node or Header filter applied at the end.

Import from Database

Select and add the database connection node. Write your query in natural language and presss Enter. The agent will create a node containing the SQL query you need in its URL property. Click on the node to validate the query and tweak if needed. Then close the node property dialog and run the query as shown below.

Adding Node Neighbours to View

To add successors or predecessors to the current view, highlight the node(s) of interest, select Get from the Tool Bar. Choose one of the following options:

• Successors Union adds all successors of all highlighted nodes to the current view
• Successors Intersection adds only the nodes which are the common successors of all highlighted nodes to the current view
• Predecessors Union adds all predecessors of all highlighted nodes to the current view
• Predecessors Intersection adds only the nodes which are the common predecessors of all highlighted nodes to the current view.
• Neighbours Union adds all predecessors and successors of the nodes in your selection
• Connections adds the paths through the graph connecting your selection

To limit the number of nodes you wish to add to the view at this step, use the Limit field in the Get Neighbors section of the RHS Drawer.

Selecting Node Neighbours in Current View

To highlight all successors or predecessors of nodes of interest, first highlight the nodes then use one of the following options from Select in the Tool Bar

• All will select all the nodes present in all open views
• Invert will select all nodes in the active view which are not currently selected
• Successors Union selects the successors of all highlighted nodes
• Successors Intersection selects only the nodes which are the common successors of all highlighted nodes
• Predecessors Union selects the predecessors of all highlighted nodes
• Predecessors Intersection selects only the nodes which are the common predecessors of all highlighted nodes

Creating Nodes

Once nodes have been selected, they can be grouped under a new header by simply creating a new node.

To create a node hit ctrl-n (Mac) or alt-n (Windows/Linux). Alternatively, open the Node menu and select Create - a new node with a default label of "node" will appear at the origin in your currently active view.
