Setting the occurrences of imported links

Depending on the nature of the incoming data, you might not want to create connections between entities when the number of links falls outside a defined range. You can also decide not to import entities that are connected to only one other entity.

Procedure

  1. On the Import Details page, select Link occurrences removed to open the Link Occurrence Options window.
  2. Select a check box and enter values in the corresponding boxes, as follows:
    OptionDescription
    Remove links with occurrences below Connections are not created (and their links are not imported) when they would contain fewer than the specified number of links. The value must be greater than or equal to one.
    Remove links with occurrences above Connections are not created (and their links are not imported) when they would contain more than the specified number of links. The value must be greater than or equal to zero.
    Remove single connections Entities are not imported when they have only one link within the incoming data. Both the entity and the link are discarded.
    Important: Use the Link Occurrence Options with caution. In removing entities and links during the import process, you might discard information that is crucial to the analysis.
  3. Click OK.
    Your changes are confirmed on the Import Details page. You can change this option before you run the import.
