Link summarization
You can override the charting scheme and control how your link records are summarized into links for display on the chart.
About this task
Usually the charting scheme you are using defines what items that contain i2 Analyze records look like on the chart, including how link records are displayed. You can view your current charting scheme or choose from available charting schemes on the records bar, below the ribbon menu. If there are multiple links between the same two entities on the chart, you can override the charting scheme setting and choose how to display those links. This is useful because you have greater control over the look of your chart and how it relates to the type of analysis you want to do. You might want to examine the relationships between entities in detail by including multiple links. Alternatively, you might want to combine links with the same direction, or you might choose to use single links to represent all connections of the same type, to improve the readability of your chart. You can also change the link summarization option setting for custom link types.
You might have a number of link types on your chart representing relationships such as 'Access To', 'Associate', 'Transaction', and 'Employment', for example. When you open link summarization with no links selected on the chart, the first type in the list is selected by default. In this example, 'Access To' is the default selection. However, if one link type is selected on the chart before you open link summarization, that type is the default selection. Where multiple link types are selected, 'Associate' and 'Transaction' for example, the setting defaults to 'Associate' as it is the first type in the list.
