If you are working with a classic import specification that is not aligned to an i2 Analyze schema, you can set the strength of imported links. You can give each link the same strength, or you can set link strength from values in the incoming data.
About this task
Setting the strength of the links that you import can provide a visual representation of your confidence in the data. For example, if you set the link strength to Tentative, the links display as dotted lines instead of solid ones.
Procedure
To set link strength:
- Select a link in the import design.
The property table is displayed to the right of the import design and contains the Strength property. Unless previously modified, the property has a default value of Confirmed.
- In the property table, select the Strength row, and then click the browse button that appears.
The Edit window opens.
- To assign the same strength to each link that is imported as a result of the design, click Strength and select a link strength from the list.
- To assign strengths from values in the incoming data:
- Click Single column, and select the column that contains the data that determines link strength.
- Optional: Select the Replace blank value with check box, and select a strength to assign when no values are present in the data.
- Click OK.
