Access a graph#

To open a graph:

  1. In the side navigation bar click the graph Create graph icon.

    By default, the graph loads the most recently open graph session.

    If the loaded graph has never been saved before, the default name is Unnamed graph*.

    An asterisk (*) appended to the graph name notifies that any content currently loaded data on the graph has not yet been saved.

You can select the view you want to load the graph in, go to the top bar and choose from:

  • Standard

  • Hierarchy

  • Radial

  • Structural

  • Lens

  • Tweak

Tip

Error loading detail for the entity on an open saved graph

It may occur that you open a saved graph, click an entity or an observable to display the corresponding detail pane, and the detail pane contains no details about the selected entity or observable. Instead, it displays an error message:

Error loading detail for the entity, it may have been deleted or updated.

Or:

Error loading details for the observable, it may have been deleted.

This can occur in the following case:

  • You are loading a previously saved graph.

  • The saved graph is populated with objects such as entities, observables, and relationships; that is, it is not an empty graph.

  • Your user profile lacks the necessary permissions to access the content of one or more objects in the graph.

  • The objects are displayed on the graph as expected; however, it is not possible to view their content on the entity or observable detail pane: you can see the data container, but you cannot inspect the data content.

This behavior occurs because saved graphs are JSON dump snapshots.

Graph information includes details about the graph nodes, but it does not include any specific data about the actual entities or observables on display.

Any user with the read graphs permission can access any graph in read-only mode.

However, if your user profile belongs to a user group that has no access rights to the actual content of the entities and observables on the graph, you cannot view any specific entity or observable data on the corresponding detail panes.
